Corteva Agriscience's COVID-19 Assistance in Delaware
Since the early days of the coronavirus outbreak, Corteva Agriscience has taken steps to help protect the health and safety of their employees, as well as their families, their colleagues and their community. They have engaged crisis management teams at the country, regional and global level, and their Integrated Health Services Pandemic & Infectious Disease Planning Team has been monitoring the situation and developing guidelines and protocols that have been communicated to all of our employees globally. Corteva’s response and relief efforts in Delaware include:
Food Bank of Delaware announced in March a significant matching donation from Corteva Agriscience to assist with feeding food insecure Delawareans during the coronavirus pandemic, which has created more populations in need of additional support during this unprecedented situation.
The Corteva Challenge Match was established to encourage additional corporate and individual support during this challenging time. The match has already exceeded its amount and generated significant donations from other companies made through this FBDE campaign.
A Corteva Employee Driven Virtual Food Drive was established to support employee interest to donate to the Food Bank of Delaware. Corteva employees have been active and generous.
Corteva Agriscience offered a donation of surplus PPE to Christiana Care Health System and the Rockford Center of Delaware. The company is donating masks, rubber gloves and Tyvek suits and materials that can be used by professionals who are working to treat and prevent COVID-19 spread and support patients in their facilities.
