January 8, 2021 – Cardinal Health announced it is celebrating its 50th anniversary and kicking off “a year of giving back.”
Mike Kaufmann, CEO of Cardinal said, “To celebrate our 50th anniversary, we’re building on that spirit of humanity, and launching a year of service for Cardinal Health employees around the world. Our employees are passionate about giving back, and this year, we’re setting the goal of giving at least 50,000 hours, collectively, of volunteer service in 2021.”
Throughout the year, employees will support causes that mean the most to them across four areas, one for each quarter of the year: equity, our environment, health and hunger.
“We’re purposefully beginning the year with equity-focused service,” Kaufmann said. “Diversity, inclusion and equity are core to who we are at Cardinal Health – we firmly believe that ‘as you are is just right for us.’ This year, we’ll celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a holiday in the U.S. for the first time. We’re encouraging employees to honor Dr. King’s memory through volunteer service.”
