Giving back to the community
NEC is committed to giving back to society, and we support a number of community and environmental initiatives.
NEC Make-a-Difference Drive
NEC’s Make-a-Difference Drive is a worldwide NEC corporate initiative, where we encourage employees to take part in a diverse range of volunteer activities.
In total, more than 1,070,000 NEC employees across the world have been involved in the Make-a-Difference Drive since we set it up in 1999.
We hold the Make-a-Difference Drive during October and November. This year, NEC Australia is supporting Movember, which aims to raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, particularly prostate cancer and depression. You can find out more about Movember at www.movember.com.au
Disaster relief appeals
NEC Australia has recently provided corporate contributions to the following disaster relief appeals:
- Red Cross Japanese Earthquake and Tsunami Appeal in 2011
- Red Cross and the Queensland Premier’s Disaster Relief Appeal, following the floods that affected large parts of Victoria and Queensland in late 2010 and into 2011.
