Community initiatives

Elementis aims to promote the safety and well being of the communities in which it operates.

Policy

It is the Elementis policy to actively promote the safety and well being of the communities in which we operate and to ensure that we conduct our business in a way that is open and transparent to our neighbours.

Strategic direction

We seek to engage positively with our local communities. It is our policy to operate as a 'good neighbour' and we encourage and facilitate employees volunteering or fund raising in support of local community organisations.

At Elementis, we monitor our activities and benchmark ourselves against those companies considered 'best in class'.

Establishment of policy

Elementis takes a decentralised approach to working with the communities in which we operate. The Company sets guidelines but does not dictate any specific areas or priority for corporate support, since we are aware that needs and priorities vary from community to community.

This bottom up approach is designed to encourage management and employees at individual sites to focus on local issues and to take full responsibility for implementation of local programmes.

Certain activities are excluded from Elementis involvement or support, such as:

  • Non profit organisations in the US not eligible for support under federal IRS code

  • Endowments

  • Fraternal and veterans groups

  • Individuals

  • Political organisations and campaigns

  • Sectarian or religious groups

  • Discriminatory groups
