How do you define corporate social responsibility?
CSR is, simply put, serving the communities our employees and guests call home. At Empire City Casino, we work to create a positive impact in these communities every day. We demonstrate this to the communities that have welcomed us, by supporting non-government organizations that provide critical services to community members and families. Through our CSR work, we strive to exemplify our philosophy of embracing humanity every day.
What are your organization’s CSR goals?
Grounded by our company values, MGM Resorts has publicly stated goals that positively impact communities where our employees and guests live. We support programs that align with our philanthropic pillars:
- Fighting hunger
- Funding public education
- Workforce development
- Environmental sustainability
Our support comes in varying forms, including financial grants, in-kind donations, and volunteerism that encourages team members to dedicate time, talent and labor to contribute to nonprofit partners across the globe.
Why did you choose to pursue a career within CSR?
Company culture is a critical component of my career. With volunteerism, community spirit, and a strong commitment to diversity all serving as integral elements of MGM Resorts’ culture, pursuing a career that thrived within the CSR space was simple. With more than 61,000 community-minded team members engaged in our communities, MGM Resorts strives to make a difference, and I am honored to be recognized in my career for doing so.
