At Southwire, one of our most important missions is to give back to the communities where we live and work. Corporate philanthropy is not a separate function, operating isolated from other areas of the business. Rather, it’s a crucial part of how we do business. It directly impacts our relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, our friends and neighbors and other key stakeholders.
Southwire's corporate giving occurs in two separate ways - financial support through monetary contributions and the sharing of time and talent through volunteer efforts. Often, we combine the two and our efforts increase exponentially. In some cases, we join with other organizations in true partnerships that create much farther-reaching impacts than any single group could produce alone.
