Communities
Community Engagement: A Core Pillar of Our Sustainability Strategy.
The Chorus Contributes Program supports community initiatives which fall under two main areas of focus: Healthy Communities and Inclusive Skies – both of which build on our commitments to equity, diversity, and inclusion within our workplace and communities. The program supplements the charitable activities and initiatives across the group of companies. We encourage our employees to support the charitable causes that matter most to them. We support these efforts through initiatives like the Jazz Lends a Hand Program, through which employees may apply for a day’s paid leave to volunteer with a registered charity of their choice.
Healthy Communities
Inclusive Skies
Our Healthy Communities efforts are about contributing to the sustainability of the communities where we live and work. Examples of these projects include the support of marginalized members of our communities by addressing food insecurity, homelessness, physical and mental health and resilient environments.
Our Inclusive Skies efforts are about contributing to a diverse and inclusive aviation sector by supporting programs that connect people from under-represented groups to the aviation industry. Examples of these programs include participation in aviation days, camps, and scholarships to support students pursuing careers in aviation.
Support.
Chorus’ commitment to healthy communities involves volunteer and monetary support for projects focused on marginalized members of communities by addressing food insecurity, homelessness, physical and mental health and resilient environments.
