Community Engagement
We believe that thriving, resilient communities are essential to a sustainable future.
Throughout our history, we have remained committed to being a good corporate citizen by building strong relationships with the communities where we live and work.
Our tradition of charitable giving spans more than 70 years and continues today through both local site-level initiatives and the Cabot Corporation Foundation. Together, these efforts support programs around the world in areas such as science and technology education, civic development, and initiatives that advance our sustainability objectives.
Equally important is the passion and generosity of our employees, who actively volunteer their time, share their skills, and contribute to charitable causes. By engaging with our communities, we not only strengthen the places where we operate but also foster pride and purpose among our people.
Since 2022, over 3,880 trees have been planted by our Mauá team in collaboration with members of the local community. The planting area is home to a wide variety of local species and is located between our Mauá plant and the nearest town. These trees will help absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), restore degraded areas, and promote biodiversity in the local ecosystem.
For more than a decade, our Valmez, Czech Republic site has participated in an annual charity event in which employees cycle or walk local mountain peaks for a community cause. For each completed peak, employees contribute donations to a local charity on behalf of Cabot. This annual event combines teambuilding, well-being and support for the local community.
To celebrate Earth Day and Global Sustainability Day, our Cilegon, Indonesia, site planted 200 mangroves and participated in a beach cleanup in the local community. This effort supports coastal ecosystems while bringing employees together around shared environmental goals. Cabot’s annual Global Sustainability Day is more than just an annual event – it is a movement fueled by collaboration, innovation and purpose for our employees and the communities where we operate.
In a heartwarming act of service, members from our Shanghai plant team visited the Wu Jing Old People’s Home to deliver summer care kits and celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival. With support from the Cabot Foundation, the team contributed to improved living conditions and shared the cultural tradition of wrapping “Zong Zi” with the residents. This annual gesture, rooted in a relationship dating back to 1998, reflects our ongoing effort to enhance the lives of aging community members and preserve traditions within the communities we serve.
A spirited group of women from our Schaffhausen office laced up their sneakers to take part in the annual Frauenlauf Bern, a scenic run/ walk event in Switzerland’s capital. More than just a fitness challenge, the day was dedicated to raising awareness and funds for breast cancer prevention through support for the Dear Mama organization. The event mobilized thousands across Switzerland and helped generate critical donations for early detection programs and patient resources. Our team’s participation aligned with our broader health and social impact objectives by contributing to a high-visibility advocacy campaign for women’s health.
