MONTRÉAL, QC, May 11, 2022
/CNW Telbec/ - CGI has worked to raise emergency funding for
Ukrainians in partnership with the International Committee of the
Red Cross, and to engage in numerous grassroots initiatives to
provide critical services and resources. The company donated
$1 million through employee donations
and company contributions, and is partnering with organizations to
provide support for people remaining in Ukraine and to help resettle refugees,
including engaging in proactive recruitment initiatives.
"Since the unfolding of the tragic events happening in
Ukraine, our teams around the
world have had a strong desire to help those affected through
ongoing aid, including donations, volunteer time and a range of
grassroot activities," said President and Chief Executive Officer
George Schindler. "Partnering with
the International Committee of the Red Cross enabled us to quickly
mobilize monetary donations to best reach and support those in
need."
"Although CGI does not have offices in Ukraine, Russia and Belarus and is not experiencing a direct
business impact, we do have employees who are from Ukraine or who have family there," shared
Julie Godin, Co-Chair of the Board
and Executive Vice-President of Strategic Planning and Corporate
Development. "As part of our core values and culture, we always
want to do our part to help those in need. We will continue to do
everything we can to help alleviate the suffering of those impacted
by the tragic events in Ukraine."
In addition to the donation of $1
million, CGI professionals around the world are partnering
with government and community organizations to assist Ukrainians in
the following ways:
- Collecting and distributing clothing, food and medical supplies
for arriving refugees
- Welcoming refugees into their homes or arranging for free local
accommodations
- Providing education and reskilling support
- Offering language courses
- Building or enabling platforms that match needs and
suppliers
- Donating laptops so that refugees can continue their schooling,
apply for jobs, and stay connected
- Delivering supplies at the Ukraine border for those in need and driving
families to safe locations
- Helping refugees find employment as they begin to settle into
new communities
