Program

Community Investment
We are committed to supporting the communities in which we live and work. We do this through our corporate partnerships and structured programmes, by encouraging employees to share their time and expertise as volunteers and by supporting fundraising activities.
We support programs that are closely connected to our business, from encouraging young people to study science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) subjects and pursue engineering and technology careers, to working with organisations that support armed forces personnel and their families.

We see it as our responsibility to encourage and inspire young people to consider careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Our education programmes are designed to challenge stereotypes and excite young people about careers in science and engineering.
