At Reuse Swap Store, we believe that corporate social responsibility (CSR) and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) are more than corporate buzzwords—they are practical, measurable ways to build a better world.
Recently, we were deeply honored to collaborate with an amazing group of volunteers from Nielsen, as part of their Nielsen Global Impact Day (NGID) on 9th October 20205, a worldwide initiative where Nielsen employees dedicate their time and energy to giving back to local communities.
Our mission is simple yet meaningful — to promote the culture of reusing, swapping, and donating pre-loved items to reduce waste and inspire sustainable living.
A Collaboration with Purpose
The partnership between Reuse Swap Store and Nielsen went far beyond a typical volunteer event — it was a celebration of community, sustainability, and shared purpose.
As part of Nielsen’s Global Impact Day, the volunteers arrived with generous donations collected through their internal drive, including clothing, household items, and more. These contributions will go a long way in supporting our ongoing initiatives to extend the life cycle of pre-loved items and help families and individuals in need.
But their kindness didn’t stop there. The Nielsen team rolled up their sleeves and joined us for hands-on volunteer work — sorting and organizing clothing, arranging donated items, and even helping to build new racks to enhance our store’s layout and accessibility. Their teamwork, enthusiasm, and attention to detail transformed our space into a more welcoming and efficient environment for all who visit to browse, swap, or donate.
The Power of Corporate Volunteering
In a world where environmental and social challenges are increasingly connected, initiatives like Nielsen’s Global Impact Day show how corporate social responsibility (CSR) can spark real, lasting change. By stepping outside their workplace to engage with local causes, companies like Nielsen bridge the gap between business and community, encouraging employees to become active participants in building a more sustainable and compassionate world.
At Reuse Swap Store, we believe every act of volunteering — no matter how small — creates ripples of positive impact. Nielsen’s contribution reminded us that collective effort truly drives transformation. Their visit wasn’t just about organizing donations — it was about embodying values of care, responsibility, and sustainability that align perfectly with our mission.
The Lasting Impact of Nielsen’s Effort
Through their generous donations and hands-on participation, the Nielsen volunteers directly contributed to reducing waste, supporting circular economy practices, and improving our operational efficiency.
Their actions helped extend the usability of pre-loved items that might have otherwise ended up in landfills and made it easier for our visitors to find what they need — whether it’s clothing, home essentials, or simply a sense of community.
Every item sorted, every rack assembled, and every smile shared during their visit became part of our ongoing story of sustainability and kindness. The positive energy they brought continues to inspire both our team and our visitors.
