Social Responsibility
A core value of United Laboratories is giving back to the communities we serve through various social responsibility initiatives. We support causes both locally and nationally that aim to improve people's lives.
Leading with Purpose
As part of United's Core Values, reaching out to support social responsibility initiatives is vital to the corporate culture. We address this on several fronts: locally through the Home Office; on national levels; and with specific regional levels that vary by year.
On a national level, United selected to partner with Cleaning for a Reason, a charitable organization which was selected by the employee-owners of United as one that can help make a difference in a situation with which everyone can relate. Whenever our customers buy United products, a portion of those sales goes to help support Cleaning for a Reason as they provide support to those with cancer. Since 2014, we've also been supporting the Jimmy Jack Foundation that works to empower youth through the gift of music – providing instruments and coaching – as they reach for their dreams.
Locally, our employee-owners donate to our annual drives, including Toys For Tot; and food donations for the Northern Illinois Food Bank. In recent years we've been able to help rebuild homes with our local Habitat for Humanity organization. We're proud of the generosity of our employee-owners who so generously provide for these events.
United Employees Embrace the Spirit of Giving for 13th Year with Toys for Tots
For over 75 years, the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve Toys for Tots Program has been delivering hope and joy to less-fortunate children during the holiday season. Through the gift of a new toy, Toys for Tots helps bring the magic of Christmas to life and inspires a sense of hope in the future. Once again, United employees have embraced the spirit of giving by generously collecting and donating toys to this worthy cause. This marks the 13th-consecutive year that our team has stepped up to the plate to support Toys for Tots, demonstrating our unwavering commitment to making a positive impact in the communities where we live and work.
