HONEYWELL VOLUNTEER FAIR
Honeywell’s global Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives improve lives and inspire change in communities around the world. Giving back is central to our culture, and one way we do that is through volunteerism. We’ve set an ambitious goal of contributing 100,000 employee volunteer hours by 2025 -- and Honeywell Futureshaper are well on their way to making lasting impact!

At today’s Volunteer Fair we invite you to get to know these partners and introduce yourself to the many other wonderful organizations that do so much to make our community better for everyone.
