Time4Water
Time4Water, Orbia’s flagship volunteering campaign, brought our people together across businesses and regions to act for water security in the communities where we live and work.
In 2025, its second year, efforts continued to build momentum, engaging teams in water stewardship activities including reforestation events, community cleanups, awareness walks and races and educational workshops. Across 31 countries, more than 2,500 Orbia volunteers contributed over 7,000 hours through more than 110 activities, supported by a network of 150+ local champions.
The campaign’s second year also marked an important step forward in measuring outcomes, helping Orbia better understand the value these collective actions create for people, communities and ecosystems.
Strengthening Water and Food Security in Peru
Orbia’s Building & Infrastructure business team continued supporting food and water security in Cerro Colorado, Peru through a partnership with the Municipality of Cerro Colorado, SEDAPAR and NGO Agualimpia.
By 2025, Orbia volunteers had installed water infrastructure for 36 community kitchens, improving food preparation conditions for 1,954 direct beneficiaries and daily users while indirectly benefiting more than 253,000 district residents.
Orbia volunteers also supported women leading community kitchens through workshops on safe water management, food preparation, sanitation awareness and labor inclusion. By combining infrastructure with capacity building, the efforts strengthened community resilience and helped better everyday conditions for families district-wide.
Inspiring the Next Generation of Girls in STEM
Through the Yerukot—or Green Girls—STEM program, Orbia’s Precision Agriculture business team partnered with the Ein Shemer Ecological Greenhouse in Israel to inspire teenage girls to explore technology, sustainability and precision agriculture career opportunities.
With guidance from Orbia volunteers, students across three schools engaged in hands-on projects that combined environmental awareness, problem-solving and social impact. Their work included creating an accessible garden for individuals with disabilities, introducing a solar-efficient irrigation system and planning a fruit and vegetable garden to improve nutrition in a financially disadvantaged neighborhood.
Supporting STEM Pathways and Local Talent
In 2025, the Orbia Fluor & Energy Materials team advanced STEM education and career pathways in the U.S. and Mexico through scholarships, internships and employee-led mentoring programs.
In the U.S., the Orbia Empower Scholarship Program helped students transition into real career opportunities. One recipient completed training and joined Orbia’s Louisiana plant as a full-time lab technician, becoming the program’s first graduate to secure permanent employment.
In Mexico, more than 350 students from three schools participated in Orbia-led STEM Career Outreach events. Over three days, 22 Orbia volunteers contributed 80 hours to sessions on technical roles, academic pathways and mining-related disciplines, including workshops led by female engineers.
