PROVIDENCE – Both CVS Health Corp. and Hasbro Inc. have been named as 2018 Civic 50 honorees, an award for superior corporate citizenship from the volunteer service company Points of Light.
Both Rhode Island companies were also named in 2016. Hasbro has received the award since Points of Light launched the honor in 2012.

“In addition to our commitment to support the communities we serve, we’re fortunate to be able to depend upon the talents and generosity of our colleagues and customers to deliver on our purpose of helping people on their path to better health,” said Larry J. Merlo, president and CEO of CVS, in a statement.

The business community plays an important role in creating and delivering innovative solutions that drive social good in the communities where they live and work.”
