COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY
Environmental, Sustainablility, Governance Goals As a charitable organization with a 501c3 determination, Operation Warm exists to promote the public good. Increasingly our people – board members, children we serve, partner organizations, and staff - are asking us to do even better. We want to keep pace with societal trends and ensure that our business practices are aligned with the Environmental, Social and Governance policies we value. This year we have outlined some of the things we’ve accomplished to promote sound ESG policies within our organization, and what we hope to achieve in the future. Sustainable Development Goals In 2015, the United Nations published a universal call to “transform our world” by ending poverty, protecting the planet, and promoting peace and prosperity for people of all ages. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is a plan of action focused on 17 integrated goals to be achieved by 2030. Our areas of focus involve how our basic need programs contribute to ending poverty and connecting children and families in need to other essential resources.
Our gifting events are opportunities to unite caring volunteers and organizations around the goal of alleviating its effects on children and families.
Preventive care is key to helping kids stay healthy, and we have offered the gift of a coat and shoes to incentivize families to bring children to local clinics for well-child checkups or to get flu and COVID-19 vaccines.
Our coats and shoes help reduce school absenteeism, so kids can get the benefits of nutritious school meals. Our events introduce families to community resources and organizations that work to alleviate hunger.
