Infineum USA was one of ten companies receiving awards at NJBIA’s 2007 Awards for Excellence Dinner held at the Pines Manor in Edison on October 16.
“It always gives us great pleasure to recognize the outstanding achievements of our member companies. Each of our winners has a wonderful story that deserves to be told,” said NJBIA President Philip Kirschner.
It’s hard to imagine a worthy cause in Union County that has not been helped by the employees at Infineum USA. The company has participated in or partnered with the United Way of Greater Union County (employees raised $117,000 in 2006), the YMCA, the YWCA, the Salvation Army, American Cancer Society, and the American Heart Association, local school districts, and higher education institutions, just to name a few.
Infineum sponsors about 100 teachers every year to attend workshops in the health, safety and environmental fields to enhance their knowledge.
Infineum employees also collect a variety of goods for charitable donation. There’s an ongoing clothing drive, a year-round food drive, and a collection of cell phones for U.S. soldiers. Used eyeglasses are donated to the Lions Club’s Eyes for the Needy program twice a year. Outgrown baby items are also delivered to those in need.
Infineum’s employees also get involved directly. The company sponsors home building projects conducted by Habitat for Humanity in which employees participate. Infineum volunteers enhanced the education of more than 300 children in 2006 through Junior Achievement programs. Altogether, Infineum volunteers gave more than 5,400 hours of their time to charitable causes in 2006.
Since 1984, NJBIA annually has honored a select group of its members with its Awards for Excellence. The Awards for Excellence winners demonstrate outstanding achievements in one of four categories: Job Creation, Outstanding Employer, Environmental Quality and Public Service. All 23,000 member companies in good standing are eligible to be nominated.
An independent panel of judges, who volunteer their time to conduct the judging, reviewed the nominations. This year’s judging panel included individuals from the Service Corps of Retired Executives (SCORE) and the NJBIA policy committees.
Mercadien P.C. Certified Public Accountants of Princeton verified the information supplied by the winning applicants.
With more than 23,000 members, NJBIA is the nation’s largest State-level employer association.
