Based in Northern Illinois, ABC Distributing provides an array of
merchandise, including home goods and seasonal items, through its catalog as
well as its website, www.abcdistributing.com. In addition, the company
encourages employees to participate in charitable giving events
regularly.
Each year, the number of enterprises that participates in
corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives increases. In one survey of
nearly 1,200 executives, more than half indicated that CSR remains an important
part of their workplace. The survey data collectors projected a rise to 70
percent within another two years.
CSR may not always begin at the top of
an organization. In many cases, employees bring causes they care about to the
workplace. For example, they may raise money for road races or sell candies or
other items to benefit a cause, such as Girl Scouts or a foundation that seeks
funds for disease research.
The team at ABC Distributing engages in a
broad variety of activities throughout the year, including donating food to
local shelters, competing in the JPMorgan Chase Corporate Challenge, and
providing children in need with school supplies. Other charitable efforts
include blood drives and book
collections.
