Energizer Holdings believes in supporting the communities where we live, work and play. Many of our colleagues are highly active with charities of their own choosing, and the Energizer Giving Foundation enables them to make a greater difference by matching their contributions dollar-for-dollar. In times of natural disasters or other crises, such as hurricane destruction, colleagues’ charitable contributions made to qualifying relief agencies are eligible for a 200% match. Energizer also supports disaster relief efforts through a partnership with Feed the Children.
Since 2016, Energizer Holdings has donated more than 15 million batteries and portable lighting products in North America alone. The World Health Organization celebrates World Hearing Day every March to raise awareness of hearing loss, encourage individuals to recognize the signs of hearing loss in themselves or loved ones and advocate for audiology checkups. In support of this effort, our Rayovac brand promotes an online hub of information and articles for consumers to raise awareness of the seriousness and importance of hearing loss, and help people to recognize their own hearing loss, or recognize the symptoms in a loved one – prompting them to get a checkup.
