Among other things, the report notes that Breakthruwhich has operations in 16 US markets and Canadainvested $2.1 million in enterprise-wide donations in 2017, supported 361 charitable organizations, and participated in 40 volunteer events.
"What makes me the proudest is not the money we provide, but when our associates get involved in giving their time to help and mentor students, take care of those in need, and preserve and clean our environment for the next generation," says Charlie Merinoff, Breakthru's co-chairman.
The report also outlines the company's "values-based, inclusive, and people-centric culture," which includes five associate resource groups, thousands of Culture & Inclusion training hours, and a coast-to-coast Culture Ambassador network
