VALCOURT, QC, May 4, 2023
/CNW/ - Today, on United Nations Anti-Bullying Day, BRP Inc. (TSX:
DOO) (NASDAQ: DOOO) is taking a stand to end intimidation in
schools by helping those who need it the most. To drive positive
change, BRP is creating an online hub that provides easy access to
resources offered by its community partners. These tools are
specifically tailored to help youth, parents, and school staff to
deal with the difficult situations they encounter on a day to day
basis. This initiative is part of BRP's Ride Out Intimidation
program which has already contributed nearly CAD $2 million in community investments to
organizations across all regions where BRP operates.
"Since we chose to Ride Out Intimidation, thousands of people at
BRP and within our network have rallied around this universal cause
to find creative solutions to end any form of intimidation and
influence positive behavior," says Anne-Marie LaBerge, Chief Marketing Officer at
BRP. "On this internationally significant day, we are proud to
unveil the tools that resulted from our partnerships with experts
in the anti-bullying field to help deal with intimidation at home,
at work and at play, and address this pressing social challenge
that is far too common in our society."
This online hub hosts resources from BRP's community partners
who are anti-bullying experts and that provide several relevant
tools to address this crucial issue: Ditch The Label, Born This Way
Foundation, Fondation Jasmin Roy Sophie Desmarais, Dare To Care, No
Time For That, Bully Zero, Fundación NEMI, The Polar Academy, World
Anti Bullying Forum, Bikers Against Bullies USA and Friends.
By connecting its network of employees, dealers, suppliers and
passionate riders to its partners, BRP is also providing a rallying
point for all its stakeholders to generate impact in their
respective communities.
BRP is constantly looking at truly moving the needle on social
issues that touch people in their everyday lives. This dedication
is reflected in its Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR25) commitment to foster positive change worldwide and
invest 1% of annual pre-tax profits in local and global causes by
2025.
To contribute to this cause, BRP invites everyone to share this
video on their social media channels as well as the new online
hub.
