Community investment

No matter who we are or where we live, we are all members of a community and the community, as a group of stakeholders, are particularly important to the success of any business. Our employees, shareholders, clients, in fact every stakeholder group that impacts on the business is drawn from a community group. Successfully managing our interaction with the communities in which we work provides the business with many benefits.

AMEC has established a Charities Committee which is made up of members of the Senior Management Team, including the Chairman, Chief Executive and Finance Director. Throughout the year, the Charities Committee monitored the progress of the new ' Nominated Charities' policy and received feedback from employees.

During 2007, the committee made significant changes to the Charitable Investment Policy and put in place processes to improve the value of investment in charitable causes and aligned more closely with the company's values and Guiding Principles.
