Launched in 2024, we have committed to having each of our regional offices participate in an annual volunteering day. This provides an opportunity to connect our staff with local communities and organisations that align with our core values. The initiative also strengthens our workplace culture, engaging our team and deepening their connection to our vision and purpose.
Australia office:
In 2025, our Australia team supported CERES, a community city farm and an environmental education centre. The team rolled up their sleeves for a morning of weeding, clearing, path building and generally helping to prep the site for a new season of growing sustainable, organic produce and enjoyed a tour of the site to learn about the amazing work they are doing to help the environment and engage local communities.
In 2024, our Australia team learnt about local pollinators and sustainable local intiatives during a professional development session. 
Our team regularly participate in local charity days with travel organisations or similar. For example, representatives from the 50 Degrees North's Melbourne office joined the celebrations for International Women's Day in 2025, which raised money to support the Women’s Resilience Centre, a vital organisation providing long-term support for women transitioning from crisis care to recovery after domestic abuse, trauma, and loss. Each year, we also attend the 'Force for Good' event, raising awareness and supporting the 'Animals Asia Foundation'.
Norway office:
Our Norway Office used their volunteering day to support Strandryddeuka 2024, Norway's largest ryddedugnad (litter clean up day) which collectively attracts more than 40,000 volunteers each year. The team focused on cleaning up their local community, so covered a 1 km radius of the office, and collected over 12kg of rubbish! Part of the initiative was to registered the event and findings through Rydde, an online database that collects valuable data to support the national efforts against marine litter. This information is then used by the Norwegian Environment Agency to help shape public policies and create positive solutions to help tackle the problems at the source.
