Our Global Leadership Team recently joined together for a fulfilling afternoon of volunteering and engaging in sustainability discussions where the team made impactful visits to Make Food Not Waste, Sanctuary Farms and Marrow Detroit Provisions. These visits reinforced our commitment in giving back to our local communities across the globe as we accomplish our goal of 50 acts of giving for our 50th anniversary at Shape Corp. The team processed strawberries, contributing Make Food Not Waste's mission of reducing food waste and slowing climate change, experienced how food waste was transformed into compost using sustainable farming methods that support Detroit’s natural ecosystem and learned about the work being done to develop a sustainable food system in the Great Lakes region through ethical eating, collaboration, and innovation. This experience was a powerful reminder that even small efforts can make a significant impact. Together, we are committed to building a more sustainable and thriving community #ShapeCorp #Sustainability #CommunityEngagement #Volunteer #Detroit #Founding50Future50 #50actsofgivingfor50years

Last night, we had the immense honor of seeing our founders' families recognized by The Grand Valley University Foundation with the Enrichment Award. This prestigious accolade celebrates their long-standing dedication to Grand Valley through philanthropy and community service. Brothers Gary and Midge Verplank, who founded Shape Corp. in 1974, are remembered not just for their professional achievements but for their profound community impact. Alongside Gary's wife, Vicki, they believed in putting people first, a legacy that continues to shape our company and community. Their unwavering support for Grand Valley State University engineering program and the Robert B. Annis Water Resources Institute has made a lasting difference. Today, Gary and Vicki’s sons, Tony and Kyle Verplank, carry forward this remarkable legacy as co-executive chairs of Shape Corp. Their support was instrumental in creating GVSU’s Shape Corp. Innovation Design Center. Check out the video from the ceremony to see the full story of the Verplank family's incredible contributions. #ShapeCorp #GrandValleyStateUniversity #50thAnniversary #CommunityService #Legacy #Innovation #Founding50toFuture50
