The Moog India team makes it a priority to give back to society. Several of their charitable efforts have focused on helping those with vision impairments. This has included sponsoring 300 cataract surgeries through Nayonika Eye Care Charitable Trust. The sight-restoring surgeries were coordinated through HelpMeSee, a non-profit dedicated to eliminating cataract blindness by training ophthalmologists in manual small incision cataract surgery. Cataract is a significant cause of blindness worldwide and especially in India. 

In addition to sponsoring the surgeries, Moog India has also supported the Shree Ramana Maharishi Academy for the Blind in Bangalore, renovating a roof, sponsoring a vehicle for visually impaired students, and donating beds and cots, and other structural updates.

You might say the employees in Torrance, CA who participate in their location's crochet circle, "Common Threads," have big hearts. That's because the group isn't just a chance to connect with fellow coworkers, but they donate their time to crochet hats and other items for nonprofits like the American Heart Association's "Little Hats, Big Hearts" program. Little Hats, Big Hearts provided donated red hats to newborns at community hospitals in an effort to raise awareness of heart disease, the number one killer of Americans, and congenital heart defects, the most common type of birth defect in the country.  In 2020, Common Threads made hats and scarves to donate to the House of Hope, a local women’s shelter in San Pedro, CA.

Moog Sarl, located in France, signed an agreement with “Les Papillons Blancs” (The White Butterflies), a local school dedicated to educating mentally impaired teenagers and helping them integrate more fully into society. This specialized school focuses on giving children the day-to-day life skills that will help them find satisfying jobs and play an active role in society.

In this collaboration agreement, students will work at Moog's new site in Tigery to maintain the land around the building – cutting the grass and looking after the flowers and other plants. They will learn to use gardening tools and to work in a professional environment. This experience and training in real conditions will help them can gain confidence to eventually work independently.

Moog's site in Wolverhampton, UK, has been undergoing a project to move all lights at the facility to LED. LED lighting is highly efficient, using significantly less energy while lasting much longer than incandescent lighting.  

The site has now been 90% converted to LED lamps, offering a five-year guarantee and requiring less maintenance. Since changing to LED, the Wolverhampton site has saved over 13,000 kWh each year - equating to a financial saving of £16,000 year over year.
