Newell Brands

As the world celebrates #GivingTuesday, a global movement encouraging us to give back, we reflect on the meaningful difference we made in our communities in 2024 through the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation, product donations, employee volunteerism and partnerships with organizations aligned with our business and values.

Making every sip special! Sharpies® were hand-delivered to Starbucks baristas to add handwritten and personalized messages on festive holiday cups. ☕

Maintaining a world-class #safety record and promoting the wellbeing of our #frontline community are top priorities. Safety is foundational to how Newell creates products that offer superior value for consumers, and our frontline employees regularly participate in company-wide campaigns to improve our safety practices. Our Safety team recently conducted a campaign called Powered Industrial Equipment – or “PIE” for short – focused on identifying, reporting and mitigating potential hazards associated with equipment like forklifts and lift trucks.

Elmer’s® Squishies Mix and Match was recently recognized by Good Housekeeping as one of the best toys of 2024! The publication’s lab and at-home testers were excited to see how their mystery creations would turn out. “They had so much fun both pouring to the line and mixing — with help — and they especially enjoyed that they could pick the color to make it their own,” one parent said. Congratulations to our Learning & Development team! Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/gEcfKhWp

Our Global Supply Chain’s collective efforts help accelerate #OneNewell value creation and enable us to put quality products in the hands of consumers around the world every day. Members of our Executive Committee and Supply Chain leaders recently visited our Acuña, Mexico, manufacturing plant, which produces a significant portion of the Oster® products sold in LATAM, a beloved brand in the region for 100 years. Thank you to the Acuña team for the warm welcome! #NewellLATAM

The Sharpie® Bus, a creativity hub on wheels that celebrates the brand’s rich heritage and showcases new #innovations, has toured the U.S. since April, stopping at various arts festivals and events to inspire self-expression. Their latest stop was our Atlanta, GA headquarters, where employees had the chance to explore brand history and interact with their new Creative Markers, which show up boldly on a variety of dark and light surfaces.

Newell Brands recently launched its Brand Academy program, a set of three-day training sessions designed to equip our Marketing talent with the skills and knowledge necessary to unlock innovation potential from our leading brands and deliver best-in-class brand communications. The program supports our strategic “How to Win” choice of creating compelling brand-building and communications capabilities. Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/eDTV4u9A

In recognition of #VeteransDay (U.S.) and #RemembranceDay (Canada, Australia, U.K.), we extend our deepest gratitude to those who have served their countries, including our Veteran employees and their families. Earlier this year, we made a donation of over $60,000 in school supplies from our Writing brands like Sharpie®, Paper Mate® and Elmer’s® to Operation Homefront, whose mission is to provide support and resources that help build strong, stable, and secure military families so they can thrive, not simply struggle to get by, in the communities they have worked to protect. The donation contributed to Operation Homefront’s Back-to-School Brigade®, an annual nationwide campaign that collects and distributes school supplies to eligible dependents of service members. Since its inception, the program has distributed over 550,000 backpacks to military children. We are grateful to partner with organizations like Operation Homefront as we do our part to support our communities and honor our Veteran employees and their families.

This week, Sharpie® and Paper Mate® visited the Boys and Girls Club of Benton County, AR for some seasonal fun using our Sharpie Creative Markers and Paper Mate InkJoy Gel Bright! Pens! Clubgoers used the markers and pens to complete activity sheets, decorate pumpkins and design Contigo® water bottles. The event was part of the brands’ recently-announced, $1 million three-year partnership with Boys & Girls Clubs of America (BGCA), which includes multiple local club engagements and support towards BGCA’s arts programming. Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton County was also a 2024 grant recipient through our Local Impact Grant Program in which employees in select Newell Brands locations nominate and vote on nonprofits aligned with our focus areas to receive a grant from the Newell Brands Charitable Foundation. Thank you to Boys & Girls Clubs of Benton County for having us!
