Donations \u2013 comprising $10,651 in employee contributions and a $15,000 corporate gift \u2013 will support efforts to alleviate suffering in Ukraine and surrounding areas.<\/em><\/p>\n Urban Science is an organization powered by automotive business scientists working in (or near) 21 office locations globally, including several locations across Europe, and the conflict \u2013 and resulting humanitarian crisis \u2013 in Ukraine has impacted our team members in many ways. We\u2019ve watched with deep concern and sadness as many lives have been lost, and changed forever, and countless homes, schools, hospitals and other pieces of critical infrastructure have been destroyed. We\u2019ve remained in close contact with our colleagues throughout the affected region and beyond, and we\u2019ve worked diligently to support them in the best ways possible.<\/p>\n Early in our conversations about the conflict in Ukraine, it was clear our workforce was passionate about driving positive change \u2013 just as we always are. So, in early March, we announced a program that aimed to engage our team to deliver humanitarian relief to Ukrainians and pledged our organization would amplify their contributions through corporate gift matching.<\/p>\n
