BOC Community Support
BOC is committed to all the communities in which it operates, wherever they are in the world, and its contribution takes on a number of forms. At the Group level BOC supports a variety of programmes broadly aligned with the nature of the business.
Key themes are: the environment; education; medical research; the arts. At the local level BOC encourages a range of volunteering, donation and sponsorship programmes, guided from the centre but ultimately decided and implemented at country, business unit and site levels.
Some of the ways BOC encourages the support of charities include:
Joint Giving
The company recognises that many employees donate their time or talents to good causes, which reflect personal priorities and interests, whether they be local, national or international. The Joint Giving Scheme is a way in which the company encourages these commitments.
Giving money is often the only practical way in which most of us can help. BOC helps to maximise the monetary support employees offer your chosen charity or charities. For every pound they raise the company will match it!
Give As You Earn
BOC also operates a Give As You Earn scheme via the payroll. Give As You Earn is a tax efficient way to regularly support causes employees care about.
