Working within our communities

We respect the traditions and cultures of each country in which we operate and seek to be good corporate citizens.

We actively encourage our businesses and individual employees to support local communities in the areas in which we operate, particularly in education, the arts, the environment and community development.

We listen carefully to any community complaints and meet with local representatives to understand their concerns. We make continual efforts to seek to address and remove these concerns.

Charitable donations are an integral part of our community involvement. We direct this support primarily to causes with educational, engineering and scientific objectives, as well as to social objectives connected with our business and place in the wider community.

We do not, as a company, participate in party politics or make political donations. We may, however, support our employees if they wish to become involved in civic affairs.
