Local action. Global impact.
Continuously making
a positive impact.
Our drive to make a difference is felt worldwide. ADP associates participate in hundreds of local charitable initiatives during our annual Global Month of Caring. We also give to disaster relief, humanitarian and other philanthropic efforts around the world year round.
50KM Walkathon under the Scorching Sun:
Honors the Commitment of an Egg
In May, for the third consistent year, ADP associates came together to participate in the “Egg Walkathon.” Fifty kilometers, 34 ADP Sun Walkers, 6 squads, 23 volunteer support crews, and 400+ cheerleaders joined forces to raise donations in excess of 120K RMB for children in need of health and development. Sun Walkers walked from sunrise to sunset, supported by volunteer-run break stations every 10KM. The ADP-sponsored break stations provided walkers with electrolyte drinks, bread, watermelon, chocolate, iced bean soups, chicken, and medications. Even before the walkathon, ADP China associates were hard at work promoting the event and raising donations through a charity bazaar and t-shirt design competition.
A longer distance than a full marathon, 50KM is the standard distance in some parts of China to travel from remote rural villages that are surrounded by mountains to public transportation. Travelers hiking through these rural regions will find beautiful landscapes and also extreme poverty. Poverty so extreme even an egg is rare and precious. To help raise awareness and to support children in these areas, in Y2011, 61 volunteers started the first 50KM walkathon. Since then, event participation has grown from 61 to more than 19,000, donations have gone from 70K to 10M RMB annually, and 330K children have benefited from the 200+ projects resulting from donations.

We support programs and initiatives such as Habitat for Humanity International, Junior Achievement® Worldwide, Rise Against Hunger®,Dress for Success® and Girls Inc.®, as well as local and regional organizations in the countries where we do business.
Eco-friendly @ADP
ADP is constantly working with our landlords for ways to conserve energy and water in our buildings. We engage our associates in programs that reduce waste and encourage recycling. We’re updating our workspaces, creating modern workplaces with access to natural light and open floor plans. As we renovate our offices, we recycle electronics and construction debris.
Most of our ADP locations are easily accessible by public transportation. In some countries, we have sustainable gardens and participate in community tree planting events.
The golden rule
There is no question about ethical behavior at ADP. It’s non-negotiable. We expect each one of our associates to do the right thing, always.
