Our Communities
The success of our company depends on the commitment and capability of our people who are an integral part of the global communities in which we do business. Strong neighborhoods, towns and cities are vital to the well-being of our society and economy. Our commitment to the local community is demonstrated by our investment in measurable programs that address the community’s immediate needs and build a foundation for the future.
At our headquarters in Milwaukee our charitable giving focuses on three initiatives:
Education
By supporting education, particularly programs that focus on the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) based curriculum, we contribute to the development of a skilled workforce. Educational support is directed from K-12 to the university level. Our commitment to the creation of a long term, sustainable future for our shareholders is demonstrated through our investment today in tomorrow’s leaders and specialists.
Some of the organizations we actively support include:
• COA Youth & Family Centers
• FIRST Lego League & Robotics
• Junior Achievement
• Project Lead the Way & Milwaukee Public Schools
• Urban Ecology Center
In addition, an established annual scholarship program with selected mining schools is another way P&H gives back to the community. Together with our sister company, Joy Mining Machinery, we are happy to help promote the study of mining engineering and to help educate future mining engineers. P&H does not directly accept requests for scholarships and requires the universities to administer these awards.
Urban renewal
P&H builds and supports the communities in which we work and live by investing in partnerships with non-profit organizations that revitalize and enrich area neighborhoods. We value urban renewal projects that work to bring vitality, safety and resources into the community.
Some of the organizations we actively support include:
• Friends of Hank Aaron State Trail
• Habitat for Humanity
• Layton Boulevard West Neighbors
• Menomonee Valley Partners
Human services
P&H employees have long been passionate about working to satisfy basic human needs through volunteer work and financial support. P&H works to enhance the quality of life of others through support of organizations that address issues such as hunger and homelessness.
Some of the organizations we are actively support include:
• Hunger Task Force
• The Gathering
In addition to financial support, we believe gifts of time, talent and resources are equally important to helping our communities thrive. Employees demonstrate a high level of volunteerism through several company wide programs that that reflect the passion and interests of our people.
Around the world, our regional offices also participate in volunteer opportunities and sponsorships, targeting their involvement to causes that are important in their local neighborhoods and towns. For more information about P&H’s investment in the community contact 414.670.7322.
