Since 2018, thousands of 麻豆直播app (JM) employees have participated in our annual Global Community Day, donating countless volunteer hours to the communities where we live and work. Unlike many companies that focus on a single issue or organization, JM鈥檚 community investment program is employee driven. We support the causes our employees care about, encouraging JMers to give back by donating their time and resources to issues close to their hearts. This passion for volunteerism is woven into our corporate culture and is included听in JM鈥檚 sustainability goals.听听Like every year, the JM Engineered Products plants joined these efforts, contributing to various community projects. Here鈥檚 a look at some of the incredible volunteer activities led by our teams globally.听听
