Communities and sponsorship
At Jarden, we are champions of New Zealand’s potential.
That’s why we partner with charities and community organisations that share our vision and align with our core values.
Organisations that encourage the pursuit of excellence and thought leadership, cultivate respect and strive for the best outcomes for the people they serve. Organisations that believe in New Zealand’s potential and support our people, our communities and our environment to become the best they can be. Organisations committed to making a difference - and an impact.
ImpactLab
Do good, better.
ImpactLab’ s vision is to help create a world where investment works for communities, so that people can live the lives they choose. They work with the best available data and evidence to estimate social valley in dollar terms – a metric that is measurable, consistent, and comparable.
We worked with ImpactLab on a Charitable Sector Insights report, available here.
Surfing for Farmers
Surfing for Farmers is an initiative that is helping improve mental health and wellbeing in New Zealand rural communities.
The learn-to-surf programme provides an opportunity for farmers to step away from what can be an all-consuming business, get some fresh air, exercise and interact with other farmers, rural families and industry professionals.
Surf sessions are now running in 16 different locations across New Zealand for approximately 13 weeks, starting in December through to late March.
