The Rhino Revolution initiative has also benefitted from Fusion5’s support. We’ve been following the progress of one particular baby rhino whose mother was killed by poachers. The rescued baby has now grown and after being reintroduced to the wild, this year celebrated the birth of her own calf, continuing the circle of life! We’ve had a baby!
As part of our employee benefits package, we offer staff a day off to volunteer for something they’re passionate about.
We’re also sponsoring some young athletes. We enjoyed supporting Erika Fairweather and Lewis Clareburt (Swimming) in their bid for medals at the 2021 Olympics.
