As part of Hobsons, Naviance has worked with educational charities for nearly a decade to help build schools and educational facilities that help young people in developing countries get the learning and life skills they need to achieve their potential.
Globally, we are proud to support Plan, an international charity whose efforts improve education for young people in some of the world’s poorest countries. Hobsons employees from around the world have traveled to Namibia, Nicaragua, Malaysia, Guatemala, Laos, Kenya, Vietnam, Bolivia and Ghana to visit each of the projects—building vital school facilities for needy children, attending the opening of the schools and distributing school materials.
Individual Hobsons offices also raise funds to improve education within the very communities where they work and live, visiting schools and other educational institutions.
Environment and Sustainability
Hobsons employees acknowledge their responsibility to the world’s environment. We’ve not only become greener within our offices and in our materials, but we also make our clients more environmentally conscious by using our advanced technology solutions.
All CO2 emitted as a result of our business travel is offset by contributing to Climate Care, which funds carbon-reduction and energy-efficient projects around the world.
Server virtualization has significantly reduced the number of physical servers, power consumption and manufacturing waste previously used—while ensuring our state-of-the-art systems are more efficient than ever.
Within our offices, we make recycling simple for all employees with paper, plastic and aluminum collection.
Our technology products allow our customers to send cost-efficient e-communications, control the admissions process online and connect with students in environmentally friendly ways, eliminating the production and cost involved to print and mail traditional materials.
This past year, Hobsons’ Plan fundraising efforts were focused in the Techiman community of central Ghana. Hobsons representatives from offices around the world raised funds and traveled to Ghana. While there, they helped build a new primary school block with six classrooms, a library and a teacher’s office, construct a water storage facility, raise funds for computer equipment, and more.
