PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 22, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Enviri Corporation (NYSE: NVRI), a trusted global leader in providing a broad range of environmental services and related innovative solutions, today announced the launch of Thrive, its new community and philanthropic program.

“Philadelphia is our home, and as good corporate citizens, we are looking for meaningful ways to partner with our community to improve lives,” said Nick Grasberger, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Enviri Corporation. “From planting trees and advancing education among underserved communities to promoting science and the arts, Thrive’s mission is an extension of Enviri’s mission to improve our community and environment.”

After relocating its headquarters to Philadelphia earlier this year, Enviri created Thrive to serve the Philadelphia community where its employees work and live.

Thrive’s first partnerships include the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, The Franklin Institute, The Barnes Foundation, the Fairmount Parks Conservancy, the Free Library, and Mighty Writers. These community organizations are purpose-driven and align with Enviri’s mission.

“With the launch of Thrive, Enrivi is demonstrating what it means to be a good neighbor,” said Chellie Cameron, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Chamber of Commerce for Greater Philadelphia. “We are so glad to welcome the people at Enrivi to our business community, and I look forward to working with them to make an impact.” 

In addition to financial contributions, Enviri employees will contribute time and expertise to support these organizations.

Enviri's $35,000 donation to the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society will help bolster its tree-planting initiative, which aims to plant 3,000 trees in the Philadelphia region in the coming year. This partnership is a small contribution to the long-term environmental health of the Philadelphia community.

As a leader in science, technology, and engineering, Enviri is committed to fostering the next generation of science and technology innovators. As such, the Company is supporting the STEM Scholars program at The Franklin Institute. This four-year initiative provides mentoring, tutoring, and internship opportunities for high school students in the Philadelphia area. Enviri employees will engage directly with the STEM Scholars program, serving as keynote speakers for the cohort.
