23K Employees Run Together Across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad & Pune in Zero-Waste Corporate Event

MUMBAI & HYDERABAD & BENGALURU & PUNE, India--(BUSINESS WIRE)--JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM) went environment friendly earlier today, with its first corporate run in two years. This event increases camaraderie, helps to build a culture of inclusion and belonging, and bring employees together to give back to local communities. Across Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad and Pune, 23,000 employees participated in this Zero-Waste event.

On its tenth anniversary, the 2023 J.P. Morgan Run is one of the largest corporate employee runs in India to date. In addition to raising funds for children�s welfare and education, the Run was also a zero-waste event, which means that less than 10% of the waste generated during the event will end up as landfill waste. The event allowed participants to choose between a 5K or 10K race and offered additional categories less commonly found in venues like this � 50+ years of age and non-binary gender � leading the way in inclusive practices.

�The J.P. Morgan Run is a flagship employee event for our India franchise. It is an annual celebration of our camaraderie, a time to take action towards our personal fitness and an opportunity to pledge our support to the firm�s philanthropic efforts to support child education and welfare,� said Deepak Mangla, CEO, JPMorgan Chase Corporate Centers in India and Philippines.

This year�s theme, �Run Together,� was purposefully chosen to include employees across skill levels, from beginner to expert runners, and regardless of age and gender identification. Among the thousands who ran, there were first-time runners as well as experienced ones who have run ultra-marathons.

The event was also a platform for celebrating human connections with employees pledging their support for causes that were close to their hearts with themes at display covering disability, LGBTQ+, veterans, women and intergenerational inclusion, sustainability, wellness, camaraderie, and community impact.

The Run is supporting children�s education and welfare through its long-term partner United Way Mumbai. It will also support animal welfare as a cause through partnership with YODA, CARE and People for Animals.
