STRAVA LINKS YOU SAID, WE DID
We recently asked all our employees’ to ‘have their say’ and tell us what charities they would like to see Yusen support. We listened and will be using this feedback to determine the nomination of local charities, rather than one large national charity. These will be communicated shortly. This will ensure all employees can make charitable contributions if they are able to do so, to the causes that mean the most to them, making a difference in their local communities. The money raised from Tour De Yusen Logistics and site activities will be pooled and split by the number of employees per site, for donation to the site nominated charity. We encourage each site to get involved and plan local activities to raise money between 12th - 23rd June and encourage our riders at each stage! Together, all employees of Yusen Logistics UK Ltd can make a difference in our local communities.
