How often do you hear – I’m only one person. What difference can I make?

What if a few individuals form a group and create an initiative? And then recruit family and friends to join their efforts. And what if their respective employers also join in? And so on, and so on . . .

E Ink has had a Philanthropic Committee for many years. Inkers (that’s what we call ourselves) promote their passion projects and campaigns within the organization. We are a decent size company – three sites in the US, not quite 500 employees, contractors, co-ops in each site. Fund raising initiatives include charities and events to benefit many causes – medical and social themes, as well as the environment.

E Ink joined the UN Global Compact in 2017 and in 2021 alone donated $135 million to various causes supporting the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. How does that help the planet? Take a look:

Impact Summary of E Ink Inkers**:**

- 39,060 Life changing impacts worldwide

- 4,200 Trees planted in the world

- 21,000 Days of Education to children globally

- 420 Bricks made of recycled plastic waste to build schools in Indonesia

- 29,400 Impacts to offset our US office carbon emissions (one month)

- 420 lbs. of CO2 equivalent by rescuing meals in the US
