BONITA SPRINGS, Fla. (PRWEB) June 24, 2021 - More community-minded than ever, with 84 outreach initiatives in 2021.

This unique day showcases the full spectrum of Edenreds Ideal corporate social responsibility (CSR) policy, with initiatives such as serving meals to disadvantaged people, cleaning natural areas and reaching out to talk with people experiencing hardship.

For the fifth Idealday, 84 community outreach initiatives will be held across the world, in cities as wide-ranging as Tokyo, Rio de Janeiro, Paris, London and Brussels.

At Corporate Spending Innovations in the U.S., teams will split up to carry out various projects. Some will help organize donations at Harry Chapin Food Bank in Naples, Florida. Others will work alongside local non-profit organizations such as Community Cooperative Southwest Florida and the Bonita Springs Assistance Office.

Among initiatives carried out in other parts of the world, Edenred Singapore will hold a beach clean-up for its staff, while Group employees in Romania will pick up trash in the woods in Bucharest. Teams from Edenred Belgium will train small retailers in digital technology so they can develop their businesses, while 1,000 employees in Brazil will organize both in-person and online activities to help young people into the job market, chat with the elderly and support local non-profits.
