Community
OUR COMMITMENT
We care about the causes our employees are passionate about; through employee-nominated nonprofits, volunteer events or days of service, we enable our employees to support values-aligned organizations. Our employees are board members, champions or volunteers, and inspire others to join them in furthering the missions of community-based organizations.
OUR ASPIRATION
We’re focused on galvanizing a network of passionate and diverse employees, customers, suppliers, nonprofit organizations and leaders to enable innovative and positive community change. 100% of employees participating in service annually, and inspiring others to join them in PEMCO-sponsored days of giving, or actively serving to further the mission of values-aligned organizations.
