Philanthropy

This month, our team showed up for two meaningful community initiatives. Our people took part in Recipe for Change, an interactive volunteering experience run by Uniting WA that builds understanding of homelessness in Perth.

Hesperia is proud to celebrate the achievements of 18 Aboriginal students from disadvantaged communities across the Perth metro area, supported through our Learning for Life scholarships with The Smith Family. These scholarships have provided students with access to vital educational resources, personalised support, and targeted learning programs, helping them overcome barriers created through educational inequity, and in turn, enabling them to thrive academically.

Like The Smith Family, Hesperia believes education is one of the most powerful agents of change. As such, Hesperia are proud to announce a new partnership with The Smith Family and its core Learning for Life program, which aims to overcome educational inequality caused by intergenerational poverty.

Hesperia is driven by a vision to deliver projects of meaning and enduring value. This commitment extends beyond our day-to-day operations, to ensure every aspect of the business supports a healthy and vibrant Western Australia.

Months of preparation and training culminated on the weekend, with three Hesperia teams successfully completing the 19.7-kilometre Rottnest Channel Swim. Early on Saturday morning, thousands of participants swam in the 33rd annual event from Cottesloe Beach to Rottnest Island.

Four new and experienced cyclists will be representing Hesperia in this year’s Hawaiian Ride for Youth event. The 700km ride is held in March each year across four and a half days, with cyclists covering Western Australia’s South west, Great Southern and Wheatbelt regions.

Hesperia is committed to delivering meaningful improvements in social, environmental, and economic outcomes for the communities in which we operate.

Hesperia is committed to exploring procurement and supply chain opportunities with a wide range of Indigenous businesses, services and suppliers. For this reason, Hesperia attended the 2022 Indigenous Emerging Business Forum (IEBF) for the second year in a row.

Hesperia is committed to projects that inspire people and create real value for the long term. This responsibility extends beyond the operations of our business to positively contribute and champion the communities in which we operate.
