Hard at work shaping a stronger future in the communities we call home.
Our community involvement spans several decades, and our commitment is as strong now as ever before. Our IngeviCares philanthropic program allows us to give a portion of our revenue and our time to the communities in which we operate, as we pursue our IngeviWay vision of what we want to be: a positive influence in our communities.
The Components of IngeviCares
We focus our charitable giving and community involvement in three areas that support our mission to purify, protect and enhance:
Sustainability
We’ve formed keystone partnerships with organizations aligned with our focus on environmental sustainability. including the South Carolina Aquarium where we sponsor the RESPOND plastic gallery and a classroom at the learning lab. Our employees regularly host litter sweeps and we sponsor the Burke County (Ga.) YMCA's walking trail.
Education
Education, particularly in science, technology, engineering and math, is a key factor for our charitable giving and volunteerism. Our keystone partnerships include an early childhood education initiative at Metanoia (S.C.), job shadowing opportunities for the Boys’ Home of Virginia, and in-school initiatives with Family Resource Centers of Kentucky.
Well-Being
Health and human services are an important part of our volunteerism and charitable giving. Organizations in which we’ve formed lasting partnerships include Lowcountry Food Bank (S.C.), June Jenkins Women’s Shelter (La.) and Wimberly House (Ga.).
Giving back
Ingevity offers a robust employee volunteerism and engagement program, designed to strengthen relationships with organizations that support our values as a business and to reward employees for volunteering their time. In alignment with our IngeviWay vision of being a positive impact in the communities where we operate, Ingevity employees volunteered over 4,900 hours of their time and talent in 2024.
Benevity
In 2024, Ingevity partnered with Benevity to launch a global technical platform for our IngeviCares program. This platform simplifies employee giving and volunteerism by providing access to millions of nonprofit organizations around the world, supports employee resource groups, and provides small social actions which lead to significant environmental impacts worldwide.
