DAVIDSON, N.C.-- March 21, 2022 -- In support of those affected by the crisis in Ukraine, Ingersoll Rand Inc. (NYSE: IR) has partnered with World Food Program USA (WFP USA) to provide food assistance in Ukraine. Ingersoll Rand, a global provider of mission-critical flow creation and industrial solutions, donated $250,000 to support United Nations World Food Programme’s emergency food distribution and has committed up to an additional $250,000 through matching employee donations. In addition, it has pledged to contribute another $500,000 in critical product donations designed to help with medical, water, sanitation, and disaster response solutions for people in Ukraine.
U.N. World Food Programme is the world’s largest humanitarian organization, saving lives in emergencies and using food assistance to build a pathway to peace, stability and prosperity for people recovering from conflict, disasters and the impact of climate change. The financial assistance provided by Ingersoll Rand and its employees will help U.N. World Food Programme give direct assistance to people in Ukraine, and those fleeing to surrounding countries. Thus far, the agency has mobilized food supplies to provide assistance to 3 million people inside Ukraine for one month.
Chairman and CEO Vicente Reynal declared, “Our purpose of ‘Lean on us to help you make life better’ drives everything we do. Last week we suspended all new business with Russian customers, other than products that are mission critical to health and welfare. And today, our 16,000 global employees are rallying together to provide food assistance for people fleeing the conflict within Ukraine as well as those staying in Ukraine. We are proud to stand with the people of Ukraine and applaud the many amazing acts that our employees have already taken including housing Ukrainian refugees and teaching language skills to help them navigate their new circumstances. We know our contributions and our employee’s efforts will help the people of Ukraine during this humanitarian crisis.”
