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.
Over 35 Boston-based employees took part in a marine debris cleanup at Peddocks Island, one of the largest and most ecologically rich Boston Harbor islands. Organized in partnership with Stone Living Lab and Boston Harbor Now, the effort removed a substantial amount of marine debris from sensitive coastal habitats. This initiative directly supported ongoing conservation and environmental research efforts while helping maintain the island as a safe, clean space for wildlife and public use. This experience contributed to preserving a beloved local destination while reinforcing our commitment to community engagement and environmental care.
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.
Demonstrating a long-standing commitment to public safety, our Valmez plant in the Czech Republic proudly supported the 12th annual regional firefighter rescue competition. Six professional teams simulated extrication from traffic accidents under timed, real-life conditions. The event enhanced regional emergency preparedness and advanced technical rescue capabilities through structured training in vehicle stabilization, injury prevention, and tactical coordination. The event not only enhanced emergency preparedness but also inspired local schoolchildren and residents who cheered from the sidelines.
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.
