How we support our communities and the environment
We make a difference
We are committed to our communities and the environment. Through our operations in Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Honduras, we lead and support local initiatives in childhood development, education, and social and environmental sustainability. We’ve created this page to help you understand what our commitment means.

Disaster Relief
When disasters strike our communities, we look for opportunities to provide meaningful donations, critical supplies, and volunteers to aid recovery.
Children’s English School in Honduras
In 2023, we launched a children’s English camp in Villanueva, Honduras. This program focuses on teaching English to our employees’ children and other local children who have limited opportunities to learn English in school
Charitable Donation Policy
Superior Glove donates to organizations in the communities where it operates. This includes Canada, the United States, Mexico, and Honduras. We seek to support organizations that strengthen our communities with initiatives in childhood development, education, and social and environmental sustainability. We consider donation requests that meet these criteria, although we receive more requests than we can fulfill.
