In response to widespread flooding across India that left vulnerable communities in need of assistance, our local offices raised nearly $15,000 to provide rations, water filters, temporary shelter, and hygiene kits. Our site in Courbevoie, France also held a fundraiser for the Moroccan Red Crescent Society to support search and rescue operations after the earthquake in Morocco in September.
To help ensure relief organizations have the most accurate, up-to-date information, a group of summer interns and their managers participated in a “mappy hour” charitable team-building event. Volunteers contributed to Missing Maps—a collaborative project that traces satellite imagery of areas missing from open, accessible maps—in partnership with the American Red Cross.
Our employees also led individual efforts to rally colleagues, friends, and family in support of other disasters and crises during the year, including wildfire relief in Maui and Canada, and support for Syrian refugees in Canada.
