We believe in building strong relationships with the communities where we live and work. To achieve this, we actively seek out opportunities to strengthen our engagement with local stakeholders, such as through our mailing program and public live meetings. We also offer multiple avenues for our Company and employees to support and contribute to worthy causes in the communities.
Giving back
At Buckeye, we aim to have a meaningful positive impact on every community we engage with, including monetary donations, volunteerism, and philanthropy. Additionally, we have an Employee Assistance Fund to support those who have suffered through significant hardships.
We are also proud of our employees’ passion for volunteering and support their efforts to make a difference by offering each employee three community service days in addition to their standard vacation time.
Our Corporate Philanthropy Pillars
Our mission is to create positive, sustainable change in the communities where we operate. By first listening and understanding the needs of our communities, we can then leverage our resources to create a lasting impact.
Through strategic partnerships, innovative initiatives, and dedicated volunteerism, we aim to address social and environmental challenges, empower individuals and communities, and foster a culture of giving and compassion – creating a better future for all, both today and tomorrow.
We are focused on supporting initiatives and programs that enhance public safety and preparedness in communities where we live and operate. This includes funding emergency response teams, fire and rescue services, and disaster relief. This also includes funding for training and equipment that enhance the ability to respond to emergencies quickly and effectively.
Environmental stewardship is a critical element of Buckeye’s mission and values. As such, our commitment is reflected in our daily operations, as we strive to minimize our environmental impact through continuous improvement in environmental management and targeted updates to our programs, including reclamation, restoration, and habitat improvement projects. We are also committed to investing in broader environmental conservation and sustainability efforts in and around our local communities.
We have an unwavering commitment to fostering sustainable economic growth in communities where we operate. This includes funding local infrastructure projects, such as roads and public facilities, as well as supporting entrepreneurship, local municipalities, and job creation. Our goal is to enhance our local communities and cultivate long-term growth and prosperity.
At Buckeye, our People-First culture is fundamental to our business. We place a high priority on supporting the physical and emotional well-being of our workforce and local communities. This includes funding programs focused on advancing disease prevention and recovery, as well as encouraging healthy lifestyles. A key focus within this pillar is supporting pediatric cancer research, aiming to improve treatment outcomes and quality of life for children affected by cancer.
We are dedicated to investing in education to create opportunities for the next generation. We provide funding for education of all ages, from K-12 and after-school initiatives to vocational training and higher education. We also support initiatives that ensure children have access to safe and nurturing environments to learn, grow, and thrive outside of the classroom.
We are focused on providing essential resources and opportunities to underserved communities. We target critical issues such as poverty, limited access to basic needs and services, and unemployment. By investing in initiatives that enhance access to education, housing, employment and basic needs like food, this pillar aims to create sustainable, long-term change and empower individuals and communities to thrive.
