Our communities

Companies within the Keller Group often play an important role in their communities, typically by supporting their employees when they engage with community groups and local charities. The benefit of these activities is twofold: for the business there is benefit in terms of company profile and employee satisfaction and development; then there is also the direct benefit to the communities concerned. See the box below for some recent examples of what we have been doing.

Community actions

  • 2010 presented an unusual opportunity for McKinney to provide charitable support, when they were approached to supply a drilling hammer to help in the rescue effort to release 33 trapped Chilean mine workers at the San Jose mine near Copiapo, in Chile.
  • In the UK, support of local charities is given through our regional offices. Future goals include a matching scheme, to support the charitable efforts of employees; and the designation of ‘Work in the Community’ days, when employees can give up some of their time to support worthwhile projects.
  • When flooding in the Brisbane area brought some of Keller Australia’s sites to a standstill early in 2011, instead of staying at home, a number of our employees volunteered to help in the clean-up effort.
