In 2015, Crown marked its fiftieth birthday by holding a charity event called the Golden Relay. Offices around the world took turns to raise money for charitable causes, generating over US$100,000. In appreciation for the donations, the Crown Foundation recently added further donations for each decade of Crown’s existence.
The Crown Worldwide Group is made up of complementary divisions offering business services all over the world. Crown World Mobility, which is a global mobility management for corporate businesses and business critical assignment services. Crown Relocations provides destination services, moving and administrative services to assist individuals and families relocating internationally or domestically. Crown Records Management aims to maximize value from corporate memory through the storage, active management, distribution of information assets across the enterprise, and much more.
Crown employees were asked to nominate charities to share these proceeds in order to support underserved children and young adults. They must meet one of Crown’s core values: determined, caring, open-minded and sharing.
Over 25 nominations were received from Crown offices around the world and, after much deliberation, the judges decided on five possible winning entries that they felt best characterized Crown’s values. Yayasan Sayap Ibu Bintaro was chosen to receive US$10,000 on 22 November 2017.
