Banfield Pet Hospital on Monday released its 2018 Corporate Social Responsibility Report, a comprehensive overview of how the organization has leveraged its resources, reach and relationships to improve the well-being of pets, communities, its associates and the veterinary industry, the Vancouver-based business said in a news release.
Banfield’s charitable arm, the Banfield Foundation, released its 2018 Banfield Foundation Impact Report, detailing how the foundation has made a difference in the lives of pets and their families, thanks to the support of generous donors.
Banfield’s social responsibility efforts included volunteer programs to provide preventive care to underserved pets, partnerships with animal welfare organizations, environmental stewardship, and investments to support the health and well-being of its associates and the veterinary industry. Among other accomplishments, Banfield, including the work of the foundation, was named among Points of Light’s Civic 50 as one of the most community-minded companies in the U.S. for the second consecutive year.
Since September 2015, the Banfield Foundation has worked to help pets get access to veterinary care, temporary shelter or disaster relief. In addition to providing 305 grants to nonprofit organizations in 50 states, Washington D.C., Puerto Rico, and Guam, the foundation sought to educate pet owners on the importance of including pets in disaster plans. It also joined an effort in Puerto Rico to spay and neuter pets across the island while also delivering preventive care.
