In 2017, Arrow broadened existing CSR programs and established new ones to demonstrate how innovation can improve lives and shape a better tomorrow. Some highlights from the report include:
“Arrow works with innovators and helps them navigate a complex world, developing practical solutions that make people’s lives more fulfilling and productive,” said Mike Long, Arrow’s president, chairman and chief executive officer. “In doing so, we do more than extend technology’s influence; we become part of the humanitarian solution.”
Arrow’s dedicated CSR program provides support through technical expertise, employee volunteerism and partner resources, in addition to making financial contributions to organizations that share the company’s values and vision.
“Our view of CSR goes beyond traditional corporate philanthropy and community relations. We prefer to take on a few transformational projects that leverage the company’s expertise and scope and show what’s possible when we think Five Years Out,” said Joe Verrengia, global CSR director at Arrow. “As we build upon our CSR efforts, we will continue to look for partners who embrace the potential for technology to change lives.”
