Apogee is pushing to be even more sustainable and encouraging our staff to participate in Earth Hour to give back to our planet.

Employees of Apogee Corporation raised £3,179 for Cancer Research UK in December 2023, as part of Apogee’s annual Christmas Charity Advent Calendar initiative.
The funds raised will help to support Cancer Research UK’s goal of bringing about a world where everyone lives longer and better lives, free from the fear of cancer.
Employees were invited to vote for the 2023 Advent Calendar chosen charity - ensuring that the initiative supported an organisation that aligns with Apogee’s core values, whilst allowing employees to have their say on the causes that matter most to them.
“The Apogee Christmas Charity Advent Calendar is a fantastic opportunity for us to give back and support such a worthy cause.
“The Advent Calendar also creates a bit of excitement in the lead-up to the Christmas break for our employees.”– Marion Brooks, Chief People Officer of Apogee Corporation
To take part in the Advent Calendar initiative, employees were invited to purchase raffle tickets to be in with a chance of winning from an assortment of amazing prizes, generously donated by Apogee’s partners and suppliers.
Prizes ranged from gift vouchers and hampers, to gadgets and appliances – as well as a Champagne Dinner for two at The Ivy Collection.
Over 220 Apogee employees participated in the initiative, with winners announced every day from 1st – 24th December 2023.
“We are so grateful to our partners and suppliers for donating prizes for the Advent Calendar, and of course every single person who helped us to raise funds for Cancer Research UK,” continues Marion.
The Christmas Charity Advent Calendar has been a company tradition since 2018, and will return in December 2024 as part of Apogee’s commitment to driving a wide range of fundraising opportunities to positively impact charities and organisations.
In line with Apogee’s fundraising efforts and drive to support local communities, Apogee employees also visited children’s wards at four major NHS Trusts during the festive period to deliver Christmas gifts.
