PIMCO Pro Bono Corps: Driving Sustainable Change and Growth
Spotlight: Social Impact Challenge
The Social Impact Challenge leverages the talents and collaborative power of PIMCO and cross-company partners to tackle pressing community issues. This year, volunteers from PIMCO, TechSoup, Cargill, and Google developed innovative food recovery solutions to optimize operations and minimize environmental impact. Their contributions, including a dehydration method that extends shelf life and safe transportation through “coldtainers” and community refrigerators, are now integral to the Global FoodBanking Network’s strategic plan, significantly advancing sustainable food distribution.
Impact
Since its inception, the PIMCO Pro Bono Corps has dedicated over 12,000 hours to 93 charities. This initiative not only strengthens nonprofits but also enriches employees' lives, setting a new standard in corporate social responsibility. Through Pro Bono Corps, PIMCO continues to support efforts towards Zero Hunger and Gender Equality, harnessing professional expertise for the greater good.
