At IXM, we are committed to making a positive impact in the communities where we operate. This year, we proudly launched our Social Impact Program, which supports a variety of initiatives aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs). 

Our focus has been on fostering sustainable development and community well-being through key areas such as education, health, nature restoration, and poverty alleviation.

We have supported:

- various initiatives to enhance the educational experience for young learners, including a primary school in Johannesburg, enhancing conditions for a primary school exclusively available for street children in Lubumbashi, and an organization in Switzerland that assists refugee children.

- the formalization of artisanal mining in the DRC including improving the health, safety, community impacts, and security of hundreds of people dependent on artisanal mining.

- we extended our support to the community around our warehouse in Callao, Peru, with scholarships and social activities.

- health centers in Shanghai and Singapore have benefited from our support, along with organizations aiding cancer patients and efforts to clean plastic from the oceans.

- nature restoration projects that help local economies, indigenous rights, women and children in South America, Africa and Asia.

A key component of our Social Impact Program is the Donation Matching Platform, which has been a great success. This platform allowed IXMers to match their donations, raising a total of $185,886 for various charities. 

Throughout the year, we offered several volunteering opportunities to our employees, fostering a sense of connection and purpose. Our Spring Charity initiative saw IXMers reach an impressive milestone of 9.7 million steps, raising CHF 6,000 for Cancer Support Switzerland. 

The IXM Sports Charity Challenge, organized by the IXM Sports Association, encourages employees to participate in activities like races or group events, with IXM pledging money to charity based on their efforts.

We are pleased to announce that in 2024, IXM will allocate a total of one million dollars from the management bonus pool for charitable donations! We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the IXM management!

Our Social Impact Program reflects the commitment of IXM management and all employees to social responsibility and our determination to make a meaningful impact around the world. It is also a testament to our values and our commitment to building a better future for everyone. We believe in the power of community and the importance of giving back, and we are excited about the positive social impact we have achieved through our efforts!
