In 2016, Arrow built on its existing CSR programs and
established new ones to demonstrate how innovation with a human
focus can improve lives and strengthen communities. Some highlights
from the report:
- The Arrow SAM car project broke
societal barriers for people with physical disabilities by enabling
quadriplegic former racecar driver Sam Schmidt to receive the first
autonomous driver’s license in the U.S.
- Arrow and its partner Close the Gap
continued their collaboration on the Arrow DigiTruck in Africa.
Through this project, Arrow helps transform used cargo containers
into solar-powered mobile classrooms and clinics, bringing
educational resources and global connectivity to rural areas of
developing countries.
- Underscoring its conviction that
innovation can be taught, Arrow teamed with the Colorado Symphony
to deliver the Very Young Composers Program, where students learn
to innovate by composing music with the help of orchestra
musicians.
“Arrow’s commitment to guiding innovation forward is changing
lives, improving communities and advancing new frontiers in
corporate social responsibility. Our CSR and sustainability
programs show what’s possible when people think Five Years Out,”
said Michael J. Long, Arrow’s president, chairman and chief
executive officer.
Arrow’s dedicated CSR program provides support through technical
expertise, employee volunteerism and partner resources, in addition
to making financial contributions to organizations that share the
company’s values and vision. Arrow evaluates the impact of its work
with community partners through an engagement rating system.
“Arrow’s CSR program is based on transformational projects that
tangibly demonstrate how technology can improve people’s lives,”
said Joe Verrengia, global CSR director at Arrow. “We are grateful
to our partners and employees around the world who share our vision
for what these humanitarian and community programs can accomplish,
and we look forward to helping them transform their ideas into real
and influential achievements in 2017.”
