At Macarthur Coal we believe our contribution to the community should extend beyond benefits flowing from the Company’s role as both an employer and as a customer.
The Company is committed to helping the communities within which it operates to develop and maintain sustainability in the long term. Therefore, the Company has a Sponsorships and Donations Program through which we provide support to numerous community organisations and initiatives which align with Macarthur Coal’s fundamental values which are:
• safe workplace: targeting zero injuries • customer focus: acknowledging that customers are key to the Company’s success • responsible corporate citizenship: caring about the Company’s global footprint.
Macarthur Coal is unable to accommodate all requests for support and will give preference to projects or events which impact upon the local communities within which the Company operates and which involve one or all of the following: • Education - including initiatives to address the resource sector skills shortage • Programs which support and develop opportunities and initiatives for children • Sustainable development and assistance • Charities and/or services which impact on the communities within which Macarthur Coal operates. Macarthur Coal will provide funding or assistance only to those community projects where Macarthur Coal’s donation does not represent the major component of the project’s or organisation’s income.
• Nebo Medical Centre • Blackwater International Coal Centre • Nebo Newsletter • 4RFM Moranbah Community Radio Station • Queensland Minerals and EnergyAcademy • Central Queensland Helicopter Rescue Service • Mining Industry Skills Centre. Macarthur Coal also has a Shares for Schools Program which provides Queensland high school students with the opportunity to gain insight into the business of a public company.
