Dematic's Community Outreach Program represents a collective initiative to actively contribute to the well-being of the local communities where we reside and operate. Our goal is to foster a culture of generosity among our global team by engaging in corporate giving, encouraging employee volunteerism, and establishing collaborative partnerships within the communities we serve.
We are honored to spotlight some of our ongoing global community partnerships and programs.
Dematic’s corporate nonprofit partner is For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology (FIRST). FIRST plays a pivotal role in motivating the upcoming generation of science and technology leaders and innovators. Their mentor-based programs are designed to cultivate skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM).
In addition to annual team grants and a youth scholarship, Dematic’s global network of engineers annually volunteer more than 500 hours of service with FIRST, serving as mentors, competition judges, and team coaches.
In 2025, Dematic participated in our third annual Global Volunteer Month sponsored by Points of Light. Created as a time to celebrate service and inspire volunteerism, this global group project engaged more than 300 employees worldwide. Locally led by our campus champion network, Employee Resource Groups, and team leads, our organization contributed more than 1,000 hours of service in the communities we call home.
In 2023, Dematic joined Captain Planet Foundation’s Project Learning Garden (PLG) initiative. This distinctive program provides our affiliated schools with the necessary resources and chances to foster experiential, inquiry-driven learning in science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) disciplines, all while integrating lessons centered on environment and sustainability.
With school gardens in Atlanta, Fort Worth, and soon-to-be Grand Rapids (coming August '25), Project Learning Garden serves as a community extension to our corporate sustainability framework.
