“As a key supporter of the Central Ohio Heart Walk for 15 years, we annually celebrate AHA’s good work and the importance of our associates’ wellness,” said Michael Lefenfeld, president and CEO. “We are pleased to continue this successful wellness partnership and help raise awareness and research funds to prevent heart disease and stroke.”
“More than 100 Hexion walkers will be at the start line, as we build on our past support of the AHA that totals approximately $300,000 since we’ve served as an event sponsor,” said Stephanie Couhig, senior VP of Environmental Health & Safety and chief sustainability officer.
The Central Ohio Heart Walk is one of the signature events that the company participates in globally. Hexion’s corporate charitable contributions totaled more than $480,000, and associates globally logged more than 2,200 volunteer hours in 2022.
“By participating in the Central Ohio Heart Walk, we bring our ‘Responsible Chemistry’ theme to life and demonstrate our commitment to the communities where our people work and live,” added Couhig. “For example, we encourage our associates to regularly volunteer by providing paid time off and, if based in the U.S., will make a contribution to the organization in that associate’s name after achieving a certain number of volunteer hours.”
The Heart Walk is aligned with the company’s broader philanthropic pillars, including: Basic Needs, such as housing and food security; Health; Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education at all levels; and Social Justice.
