Inspiring a Day of Generosity with #GivingTuesday

December 03, 2019

At the core of Itron’s mission and purpose as a company is a commitment to resourcefulness and community impact. We believe that the way we manage energy and water will define this century, so we are passionate about engaging with communities to improve energy-water literacy, encourage conservation and inspire future leaders in our industry.

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs are fast becoming the most collaborative pathway to creating positive change in the communities where we live, work and play. Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving fueled by the power of social media, is another opportunity for companies to engage their employees, partners and customers through the power of purpose.

The generosity of our employees makes our CSR program what it is today. Our employees embody Itron’s mission of resourcefulness through volunteering, personal giving and mentoring the next generation. At Itron, we are proud to support our employees’ generosity through our employee giving program, Itron Gives. We provide paid volunteer time, match employee donations and create opportunities for community engagement around the world.

Now, more than ever, organizations have a vital role to play in building safe, resilient communities. Join us today in creating a more resourceful world.
