Corporate Social
Responsibility
Pcare
With, Panum’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) effort, Panum Cares (PCare) we have established a set of sustainable CSR initiatives to facilitate a four-pronged approach enabling employees to have a positive impact in the communities we live in. These initiatives include participating in Governance & Ethics, Philanthropy & Volunteerism, Diversity & Inclusion, and our newsletter, Panum Thrive.
Everything we do at Panum follows Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) rules. Our Ethics and Compliance Program promotes and ensures ethical conduct, honesty and integrity throughout our business operations. It is built on the foundation of our four core values- Integrity, Quality, Respect & Teamwork. These values are shared with our employees, contractors and partners to produce a corporate culture of doing the right thing in the conduct of the company’s business-every day.
Our approach is giving back to the communities in which we live. We believe in and work towards creating positive social impact through comprehensive non-profit partnerships and active employee engagement efforts towards causes we all believe-in. We work on measurable outcomes for our social investments to help transform the lives of those most in need. And when we asked our employees what they cared most about, the response was-Veteran Support, Children and Hunger. As a result, we have focused our philanthropy and volunteerism efforts in these areas with ongoing support for disaster relief.

Panum also donated $8,300 to We Are Family DC, a Senior Outreach Network Organization. Our contribution provided 675 bags of groceries delivered to inner city seniors who were restricted from traveling due to COVID-19. Additionally, we have donated $16,600 to the National Direct Relief Organization to aid in purchasing Personal Protective Equipment for the healthcare heroes on the frontlines supporting our communities in fighting COVID-19.

Panum’s commitment is to make Panum a great place to work but also an inclusive place to work for all employees. Panum ensures that we maintain diversity, promote wellness, and foster learning and development.
Diversity
The company operates with integrity and with respect to diversity and is a critical factor of what we are. Diversity goes far beyond the confines of HR. It’s a value that this entire company embraces from the top down. Panum draws from its rich ethnicities, genders, and backgrounds which allows us to bring different ideas and solutions to the table, making us all stronger and richer.
Wellness
Wellness is all about keeping our people happy and healthy. And this means different things to different people. For some it’s about managing their weight, others it’s having a healthy work-life balance or participating in team sport. And to some it may simply mean forming small club with the people that you work with. Whatever the definition, Panum strives to understand and then develop programs, resources and opportunities that will contribute to everyone’s well-being at the company
Learning and Development
Panum is committed to establishing a culture that encourages learning and professional development using both traditional and non-traditional methods of training. As a result, we created the Panum training platform which has 3500+ courses that cover a wide variety of courses including personal and professional development. As a company dedicated to driving innovation and excellence, we give our employees the opportunity to grow, improve, and inspire!
At Panum, we want employees to grow, flourish, feel fulfilled, and THRIVE! Our corporate events give employees this ability by providing environments where folks can take part in new and exciting activities designed to allow for introduction and collaborate with fellow Panum employees!
