Giving Back

Paid Volunteer Benefit

Eco-Products employees love being active members in their communities. Every Eco-Products employee is given eight paid volunteer hours a year and is encouraged to use all hours allotted to them.

Each year, we have a goal for 55% of our employees to take advantage of their Paid Volunteer Time benefit. In 2024, 49% of Eco-Products employees utilized their paid volunteer time benefit, with many employees reporting more than eight hours of volunteer time in their communities.

Community Engagement

Novolex is committed to giving back to communities through its Focused Giving Program, which prioritizes support for organizations that promote sustainability, address food and hunger, and promote health and wellness.

In 2024, Eco-Products initiated community-based events to align with the Novolex giving pillars:

Giving Pillar 1 — Food & Hunger:

We hosted a food drive in partnership with Community Food Share in Louisville, Colorado. Additionally, we supported a virtual donation opportunity for remote employees through their online donation portal.

Giving Pillar 2 — Health & Wellness:

We organized a coat drive to support Coats for Colorado. This initiative was expanded for our remote employees through an Amazon donation store set up by Coats for Colorado for remote donors.

Giving Pillar 3 — Sustainability:

We conducted a river clean-up with Protect our Rivers in Boulder, Colorado, and encouraged our remote employees to participate in local clean-up efforts where they reside.

These events reflect our dedication to fostering community engagement and supporting causes that align with our core values. While participation numbers were lower than desired in 2024, we hope to engage more of our employees in these efforts in the coming years.
