In our latest video, Larry Leverett, Vice-President and Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer and General Counsel, Global Services, Johnson Controls tells us about the company’s ‘perspectives’ sessions, where people from all levels and geographies of the organisation tell their stories from their perspective. This initiative enables others to learn and share in the different perspectives of their colleagues, which in turn helps to build the knowledge, empathy and connection that allows the workforce to work more collaboratively together.

From Saturday, 13 to Sunday, 14 June, AmCham EU staff, members, alumni and their families took part in the 24 hour Relay for Life at the Stade du Pachy in Waterloo, Belgium. Together, they walked, campaigned and raised funds to support the fight against cancer. For all involved, staying on the track for a full day was a small but meaningful way to honour the perseverance of those living with cancer and to show support for their loved ones. Couldn't join us?

For families facing food insecurity, efficient support can make a meaningful difference. In Spain, Amazon and Amazon Web Services (AWS) are working with Altius Foundation to improve how essential goods are received and distributed to those in need. Through AWS’ pro bono Giveback programme, the partners developed a digital tool that automates key processes, reducing waiting times and freeing up capacity for counselling and support. Their collaboration also enabled the delivery of more than three million meals in 2024 and helped mobilise humanitarian aid after the October 2024 floods in southeast Spain. These efforts demonstrate how technology, logistics and long-term partnerships can strengthen community support and increase social impact. Read the full story on Invested in Europe.
