Volunteering Days

A team of five Innospec employees volunteered to deliver nutritious meals to homebound senior and disabled citizens of Rowan County. They provide a friendly greeting and food for those who cannot cook for themselves or don’t have family to bring them food.

‘The Meals on Wheels program is so valuable to the seniors in our community. There are many who wouldn’t have a hot meal or any visitors to check on them without it. The program ensures they are eating and provides us an opportunity to see if there is anything else they may need. I believe there are many seniors that are simply forgotten about and this program ensures this doesn’t happen. I appreciate the company for allowing us to help!’ – Team Innospec, Salisbury, US

34 employees from our Pleasanton, US, site volunteered to create cards for the children of a local hospital. Their aim was to bring a smile and hope to each child battling cancer.

‘Our efforts have positively impacted the children by bringing a daily smile to their faces once they open their letters. They are continuously surrounded by doctors and nurses so the thought of anyone else that is thinking about them has been a refreshing sight for them. They especially enjoyed the visits as we have reopened in person visitation. We appreciate Innospec and their employees for allowing them to contribute.’ – American Cancer Society, organization

22 Innospec volunteers worked at two events to raise money for the Children’s Alliance of South Texas, an organisation that provides support to Children that have recently experienced trauma. They helped the organization by setting up the event to ensure it was a safe place for children to be and showing these children that they were supported by the community.

‘Your efforts have helped them bring awareness to child abuse and raise funds to those in need. We are grateful for the involvement from local businesses to support their cause. ’ – CASA, organization

From improving biodiversity and preventing erosion, to providing cleaner air, trees provide significant benefits to society. As so, our Oklahoma, US, employees volunteer annually with OKC Beautiful, helping to restore vegetation and clean up parks to enhance the natural local environment. Our teams planted trees and restored the green space of a local school and parks, improving the area for the community.

‘This investment in trees is helping create a more beautiful, shaded, and cleaner environment for our future generations. We greatly appreciate Innospec for their focus on helping expand and repair the tree canopy in Oklahoma City’ – OKC Beautiful, organization

A Precious Child strive to empower children whose families cannot afford school supplies by providing them with the materials to reach their highest potential. Ten of our Englewood employees supported this cause by volunteering to fill backpacks with donated school supplies and distributing to families in need.

I had a wonderful time at this volunteering event and would love to do something like this again.’ – Team Innospec, Englewood

A team of eleven Midland, US, employees worked with Keep Midland Beautiful to restore and enhance the local natural green space for the community. Our employees planted trees in a park to provide shade and promote biodiversity.

To support the Foodbank of Delaware’s long-term mission of alleviating poverty and hunger, eight Pencader, US, employees helped to pack food items and distributed the parcels to support local families in need.

Four employees from Woodland, US, volunteered their time to support a local organization working to prevent domestic violence. The team staffed the charity store and replenished goods, raising funds for the organization.

Another team of our Ellesmere port employees volunteered at a Christmas grotto, organised by the hospice, to raise much needed funds. Employees were an essential part of this key fundraising event and spread some joy over the Christmas period. 

Meanwhile, another team of eight Ellesmere Port employees helped to install a display of metal ornamental hearts purchased in memory of a loved one, with all proceeds supporting the organization. 

‘Innospec employees are a credit to the company. Every one of them worked hard, and were dedicated to making the display perfect, treating each heart with respect. Our long-standing partnership with you has made a difference in all that we do.’ – Hospice of the Good Shepherd, organization

To support the work of Herne Tafel e.v., who collect and distribute food to families in need and offer hot meals, a Herne, Germany, employee spent the day distributing food packages to people in need in the local community.
