The beautifying of the park and surrounding small businesses is part of the company's commitment to giving back to the city where its employees and their families live and work.

Synchrony and the Synchrony Foundation also announced more than $1.5 million in grants to local nonprofits to enhance parks, support youth education and provide health and human services, improving the quality of life for Stamford residents.

Named by Fortune magazine and Great Place to Work® as the number 2 Best Company to Work For® in the U.S., Synchrony recently marked a decade of impact supporting its people, serving local communities, and driving economic growth for hundreds of thousands of businesses and Americans through responsible credit access.

"Every daffodil planted and every grant given reflects Synchrony's commitment to making a meaningful difference in people's lives whether through financial opportunity or investing in the city where we live and work," said Sue Bishop, EVP and Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Synchrony.
