Our focus

We dedicate ourselves to the communities in which we live and work. Giving back and driving change are not only a social responsibility but a key aspect of our corporate culture. LogiCares creates opportunities for our employees to give back to the communities we touch.

Empowering our people

Our people contribute to the causes they have a personal passion for. We help to maximize impact through our global donation matching program and by offering every employee four paid days annually to volunteer with any organization of their choice.

SAVE THE CHILDREN

HQ, LAUSANNE, SWITZERLAND

Lausanne-based employees created two office drives encouraging individual donations to Save the Children. One sold coffee/tea for International Children's Day and the other sold homemade soup.

Save the Children is the largest independent children’s rights organization in the world. For more than 100 years, they have been working for the rights of children in more than 120 countries, every day and in times of crisis.

Our local communities

We join together to give back to the communities in which we live and work. In 2019, employees across the company organized and delivered approximately 40 Give Back events across 15 cities in 10 countries, including Taiwan, the Netherlands, India, USA, Mexico, Singapore, Ireland, United Arab Emirates and Switzerland. For 2020, we are expanding our digital volunteering model, which will allow all employees to access a wider range of philanthropic options.

Girls Gotta Run

GGRF is a non-profit that leverages Ethiopia’s national sport of running to create safe spaces, end child marriage, expand education and empower young Ethiopian women and their communities. 

On International Women’s Day, Logitech’s Jaybird brand kicked off a campaign to raise funds for GGRF, donating a portion of every pair of headphones sold on jaybirdsport.com during the month of May. By the campaign’s end, the fundraising goal had been surpassed by more than 10%, allowing every GGRF Athletic Scholar to be outfitted with running clothes. The past year 100% of the graduating class continued on to university, which is commendable as generally only 10% of Ethiopian women enter university.

If you are looking to help support and empower women and girls in developing communities, please consider donating to this foundation.
