From our global headquarters in the UK, to our offices in India, Hungary, the Philippines and many other places in between, Sophos’s corporate social responsibility efforts stretch across the world!
Each of our offices participates in their own local charities. Here are some of the charities, fundraising activities and foundations we’re supporting right now.
The Prince’s Trust
Our long-term support for the Prince’s Trust is one of our biggest charitable efforts. Based in the UK, the Prince’s Trust supports 13 to 30 year olds who are unemployed, struggling at school and at risk of exclusion.
At this clinic, staff diagnose, treat, counsel and provide insulin to diabetes patients, aiming to treat around 150 patients every year. The center will also organize a free diabetes diagnosis campus at the Sophos office in Ahmedabad for local employees.
The motivation to support the foundation is close to heart for the members of the Sophos Cyberoam office. Hemal Patel, SVP, IT and Operations, said:
“Cyberoam has its roots in Ahmedabad. The city and country has helped us achieve the success, so it’s our turn to give back to the society through this initiative. Polio Foundation is known for its noble attempts among the local communities, and it has been our long cherished desire to help out. We are glad we are doing what we can, in a way that needs much attention in today’s world. By uniting with the Polio Foundation, we intend to bring awareness, and at the same time help out those less fortunate in finding the much-needed treatment they deserve.”
Ladies Association of Fillipinas
Sophos’s office in Manila held their annual Corporate Social Responsibility program at the Association de Damas de Filipinas, a child care facility for abandoned, neglected, orphaned, foundling and dependent children who are categorized in need of special care.
The association commits itself to serve the socially, emotionally, and economically disadvantaged children by upholding their rights and interests, providing a nurturing environment that enables them to grow and develop as healthy children.
