Making a Difference

Our Community Partnering program provides a platform for our employee-owners to support the causes that they are passionate about and to work on projects that let us serve as partners to our communities.

At the corporate level, our Making a Difference events often focus on sustainability, education, community development, and the environment, while grassroots events at the local level take place on an even broader spectrum. Our employees are so committed to this program that when challenged to create “30 events in 30 days”, they participated in 60, which was just a subset of the hundreds of projects that took place throughout the year.

More than 130 employee-owners from WESTON helped East Side High School in Newark, New Jersey, with various school improvements. Projects included renovating classrooms, painting, building shelving units, and installing a roof-top solar panel. WESTON volunteers also participated in cleanup and refurbishment projects at the adjacent Independence Park.

At WESTON, we believe it is important to take responsibility for the impact of our activities and to demonstrate sustainability in everything we do.
