COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

OUR PROGRAM

Working together in the community

At Swick, we’re dedicated to giving back to the local communities in which we operate. We’re community focused in our thinking, and we strive to create positive changes by making a difference for those around us. We embody this through our support of a wide range of community initiatives.

Community Partnerships Program

We’re incredibly passionate and proud about the partnerships we support. Every year, we play an active role in providing financial assistance and grants to local businesses, clubs, charities, non-profit organisations and events that enrich the wider community.

Who we support

The initiatives we support are guided by our corporate values. The key areas we
focus on fostering positive relationships within the community are:

Indigenous engagement and support
Environmental sustainability
Health and safety in mining
Mental health
Sport and recreation
