Charitable giving, matching gift program,
employee assistance fund, and volunteerism platform demonstrates
continued commitment to social responsibility
Helios Technologies (Nasdaq: HLIO) (“Helios” or the “Company”),
a global leader in highly engineered motion control and electronic
controls technology for diverse end markets, today announced the
launch of a workplace philanthropy initiative in partnership with
America’s Charities, a leader in workplace giving and employee
engagement. The initiative is called “Helios Engage” and is a
web-based platform that enables the Company to globally manage
employee giving, volunteerism, corporate giving, and aid to
employees during times of hardship.
In March, the Helios Board of Directors established the
Company’s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Committee to
further solidify corporate responsibility and sustainability as
part of the Company’s business strategy. Today’s announcement of
Helios’s partnership with America’s Charities reinforces its
commitment to a best-in-class ESG program that will benefit
communities, charities, and its global work force.
Josef Matosevic, the Company’s President and Chief Executive
Officer, commented, “Helios Engage will not only allow Helios to
provide its employees with a platform to support a wide variety of
charities, but will also offer opportunities to volunteer and give
back to the communities in which we live and work. With this
initiative, we have established a matching gift program to further
emphasize our commitment to our employees and supporting these
great causes. Additionally, Helios Engage provides for an Employee
Assistance Fund (EAF) where employees around the globe can receive
financial assistance in times of hardship. Helios employees can
donate to the EAF to directly support their colleagues in need. The
platform will also track corporate dollars directly donated by
Helios and its subsidiaries across the globe. This partnership
allows the Company to maximize its positive social impact through
global charitable giving efforts and to give back to our
communities through volunteerism.”
This new initiative will allow all Helios global employees to
support charities they care about while allowing Helios to enhance
its impact on those facing substantial social and economic
challenges throughout its global footprint. Helios and its
employees share a proud history of corporate goodwill, providing
support to social and environmental causes that will lead to a more
sustainable world.
