Neways Employees Help Clean Up Community

SPRINGVILLE, UT (Nov. 12, 2009)—As part of Neways’ ongoing efforts to help improve the environment, the company’s Utah employees recently joined forces to clean up trouble spots in the community.

In Salem, Utah, where Neways maintains a science and manufacturing facility, more than fifty employees worked together to clear a 400-foot walkway that was overgrown with weeds and stickers. The overgrowth was so severe that children riding or walking to school could not comfortably use the sidewalk—instead, most of the children would walk along the busy street.

After the project, Neways received a phone call from a woman who works as a crossing guard for the nearby elementary. “She wanted to say thanks for Neways’ efforts,” reported Neways human resources director Kris Hunter. “There are many happy parents who are excited they won’t have to check shoes and socks for stickers before their children enter the house.”

In Springville, Neways has adopted part of a highway near the company’s headquarters building, and twenty-five employees recently picked up litter on this stretch of road. “Neways takes pride in being a good corporate citizen of our local community,” said Neways human resources generalist Donna Durand. “We’re committed to helping out in whatever ways we can.”
