Fluor Corporation employees are celebrating 50 years of corporate and
employee community involvement this month with a series of service
projects around the world.
In Chile and the United States that means building homes. In the
Philippines, Puerto Rico, the Netherlands and England, they are
providing toys and food to children in local hospitals and orphanages.
Elsewhere, the efforts will include blood, book, food and clothing
drives, and service projects for the elderly and the homeless.
The activities are part of a global commemoration of the creation of the
Fluor Foundation in 1952. The foundation began with a budget of $19,000,
targeted at communities that were home to Fluor's major U.S. offices.
Today, Fluor and the Fluor Foundation contribute $4 million to $5
million annually to educational and community organizations throughout
the world. To date, total contributions exceed $100 million.
Supporting Fluor employees' volunteer spirit is an important component
of the foundation's focus. "Our employees have a passion to build caring
communities. The foundation gives employees a partner in giving and a
structure for doing so," said Bob Fluor, vice president of Corporate and
Public Affairs and Fluor Foundation president. "Our employees have
donated thousands of hours and completed hundreds of projects since the
establishment of the Fluor volunteer program in 1976."
"We are a global company dedicated to having a positive impact on the
communities we touch," said Alan Boeckmann, Fluor chairman and chief
executive officer. "Whether through corporate philanthropic giving,
educational grants and scholarships or the generous volunteerism of our
employees, we strive to make a difference in our communities."
