Community

Helping to build thriving communities wherever we operate is a vital part of the way we work. We believe in developing the local economy by recruiting and training individuals from the countries in which we do business. Our global Your World program supports employee involvement in non-profit organizations worldwide. These are all chosen through a careful process which excludes any political or trade union body. Over the past two years, 140 local or global organizations have received financial support through the program.

The stories are inspiring. Our support is helping disadvantaged students in France attain engineering qualifications through Cercle Passeport Telecoms; Relay for Life is raising awareness – and funds – for cancer research in the USA; the Oakville Dragon Boat Race helps the Halton Children’s Society in Canada; Hands on Shanghai is a scheme for hospitalized children; the Surfrider foundation helps clean beaches in France; Maria Luiza Orphanage cares for children in Buzovgrad – and the list goes on.

Gemalto also backed team initiatives such as Tabitha Cambodia, where a group of Gemalto Singapore employees traveled to Phnom Penh to build houses; or the International Coastal Cleanup, where 35 of our employees helped de-pollute Chek Jawa Cape on Pulau Ubin Island, Singapore.
