PayPal won a prestigious Chambers Ireland Corporate Social Responsibility Award 2015 at a ceremony held last week in Dublin. PayPal received the ‘Excellence in the Workplace’ award in recognition of its Live Well Programme.

PayPal’s European operations centres are based in Ballycoolin Business Park, Blanchardstown and the Xerox Technology Park in Dundalk. Its talented workforce is integral to PayPal’s international business, which serves more than 169 million active accounts across the world. PayPal also plays a major role in the local community by supporting many businesses and charities in both areas.

The Chambers Ireland award was given to PayPal in recognition of its Live Well Programme which offers its 2,400 teammates in Ireland access to comprehensive healthcare, free annual health checks, smoking cessation programmes and dental services. An onsite gym, restaurant and café are provided to teammates in both Dublin and Dundalk, and free exercise classes and healthy eating options are offered to employees.

Speaking about the Corporate Social Responsibility Award, Louise Phelan, Vice President of PayPal’s Global Operations in Europe, Middle East and Africa, said: “It is a huge honour for PayPal to receive this award in recognition of the benefits we offer to our teammates. Our people are our greatest asset and we invest in their careers and in their wellbeing. Our Live Well Programme is built on our teammate’s feedback and our desire to encourage health and wellbeing amongst our teammates. We are determined to build further on the success of this programme to keep our teammates, happy, healthy and well. It is great to see PayPal being recognised externally for all that we do.”
