ANWELL is committed to being a responsible corporate citizen and making a positive impact on the communities where we work and live.
Beside our commitment to create value for our shareholders and our company, we also need to create value for the people in the countries where we are present. We believe this brings sustained and shared value to our shareholders, our employees, our customers and society.
Therefore, we support local and regional charities, civic causes and non-profit organizations, working together toward common goals that help build strong relationships.
Our community giving consists of three main elements
- Corporate support through donations and sponsorships;
- Community involvement programs; and
- Employee fundraising initiatives.
While the range of causes we support is diverse - based on individual community needs - we emphasize activities and, projects and organizations that will produce tangible and positive results.
