Global Impact Week Recap: Together, We Made a Difference!

What an incredible week we had! Thanks to the passion and dedication of our amazing Coupa family, we celebrated Global Impact Week like never before! With 13 countries participating and 38 local-led events, we exceeded last year’s participation with over 500 employees stepping up to make a positive change. We truly could not have done this without each and every one of you—thank you!

Here are some of the highlights that made this week so special:

✨ SuitUp Partnership: We teamed up with the nonprofit SuitUp for two virtual events and two inspiring in-person events in Ann Arbor and Foster City, where our employees participated in a unique business challenge that empowers students to build essential skills and confidence. Together with our friends from Salesforce and AWS, we mentored these bright young minds, sparking their creativity and ambition!

 

🐾 DSPCA Volunteering in Dublin: Our Dublin team rolled up their sleeves to care for the wonderful animals at the DSPCA. Your compassion made a real impact in the lives of these furry friends!

 

🌊 River Cleanup in Japan: Our dedicated Coupanians in Japan took to the streets (and riverbanks!) to clean up the Arakawa River in Tokyo, demonstrating our commitment to a cleaner environment for everyone.

 

🥫 Food Bank Support: Employees in Bogota, Atlanta, and NYC showed up big time by supporting their local food banks, ensuring that families have access to nutritious food. Your generosity is inspiring!

 

🏃‍♂ Coupa Challenge & Bike Challenge: The annual Coupa Challenge, affectionately known as the Rundezvous, saw 201 Coupanians lacing up their sneakers and running over 1,730 miles together. And for the first time, our bike challenge was a smashing success, with 55 employees cycling over 1,800 miles! Each step taken and pedal pushed contributed to a collective donation to Guide Dogs for the Blind, World Vision, and the American Red Cross! 

Global Impact Week was a true testament to what we can accomplish together when we come together for a common cause.
