Since we started with our formal community programs in 2002, we have invested $6.35 million into the Gladstone community on a wide range of projects.
This funding has also helped community organisations secure additional grants and contributions in excess of $10 million.
In 2019, our three aluminum operating sites spent more than a half a billion dollars ($531M) with local suppliers, we employed more than 2,600 Gladstone residents full time and engaged more than 1,100 contractors, we employed 95 local apprentices and trainees and we spent more than $700,000 on community investment programs and sponsorships.
