Hasbro makes Civic 50 list for being community-minded

PAWTUCKET – Hasbro Inc. has been named one of the country’s most community-minded companies in the Civic 50, an initiative that recognizes companies for their commitment to improve the quality of life in the communities where they do business.
“Hasbro is honored to be recognized on the Civic 50 list for the third straight year,” Brian Goldner, president and CEO of Hasbro said in a statement. “Supporting children in need with our time, talent and resources is very much a part of our DNA, and we are grateful to our passionate employees and charitable partners who help us make this possible.”
The Civic 50 also recognized Hasbro as the No. 2 ranked company in the “Best in Consumer Discretionary” category.
Points of Light conducted the survey in partnership with Bloomberg LP. All companies with $1 billion in revenue or more can apply for the Civic 50.
Hasbro recently completed its second Global Day of Joy on Dec. 4, during which Hasbro employees in 33 different countries spent the day volunteering to help children in their communities.
The Team Hasbro employee volunteer program allows employees to take four hours of paid time off each month to volunteer with organizations benefiting children.
During the 2014 holiday season alone, Hasbro expects to donate more than a half million toys and games – value at approximately $6 million – to organizations benefiting children.
The Civic 50 was created in 2012 to measure corporate civic engagement and recognize companies that incorporate socially responsible practices and community leadership into their culture.
Bank of America, UnitedHealth Group (parent of UnitedHealthcare of New England), Raytheon Co. (parent of Raytheon IDS) and Verizon also made the list. UnitedHealth was ranked first in the health care category.
