We are thankful to everyone that has given time, energy and enthusiasm to support our STEM programmes. They are the foundation of the great work we are doing globally, that excites people about STEM and, particularly, inspires and encourages young people to consider career in STEM. We count on their continued support as we work towards our2030 target. A handful of your STEM highlights can be found here.
Our STEM programmes make up the largest proportion of our charitable, social and community contributions. In 2019, we invested £6.96M with almost half of this – 95,870 hours – being in employee time. Although our overall contributions were slightly less than in 2018, there was an increase in the number of hours our employees spent supporting our communities.
