LISTEN UP! Doing Corporate Citizenship Better, Together - JANUARY 2021
One of the most popular employee volunteering activities (when it is allowed) is working with animals. The human-animal bond is a powerful aspect of our history. Yet it can be a sticky topic when it comes to employee volunteering for a variety of reasons.
What could the world's largest producer of medicine and vaccinations for pets and livestock, Zoetis, teach us about aligning our desire to care for animals with volunteering? We are thrilled to welcome Jeannette Ferran Astorga, the Chief Sustainability Officer for Zoetis, to share how animal care can be a part of any company's transformative employee volunteering strategy.
