Our community

Building strong, positive relationships on trust is vital to our work and success of the company. Every AMEC stakeholder, present and future, lives in a community and their perception of AMEC is shaped by their experience and interaction with our employees and organisation.

The work we do often brings us into close contact with some of the world’s more fragile communities. Working with them, building relationships and investing time and effort brings us all lasting and positive benefits. We have real opportunity to invest our efforts in ways that bring life-changing support to the most vulnerable in our global society. Through investing in local supply chains, infrastructure, education and skills we, as a company, can contribute to wider global sustainable development objectives.

We tap into the networks created by our people and harness their talents to identify and channel investment where it is needed. Through our strategic charitable work, we work together to support those less fortunate than ourselves, it reminds us what we are capable of doing when we work together. For example, in just one of our strategic charity events during 2008, we raised money to support more than 170 former child soldiers to complete a rehabilitation and skill course.

Listening to community needs, respecting their rights and understanding where AMEC can help, support and nurture are all important parts of what it means to be a great company.

Acting with integrity and respect
