Teck recognizes that the well-being of the communities where we operate is fundamental to the company’s long-term success. Through Teck’s Community Investment approach, we invest in organizations and initiatives that create shared value, strengthen community development and resilience, and contribute to sustainable long-term impact.
Our Approach to Community Investment
The Application Process
All applications must be received through our online application system. Applications are accepted throughout the year. We thank you for your interest in submitting a funding request. Teck is focusing its limited resources on opportunities that are most aligned with our priorities, particularly in those communities where we have operations. Our Community Investment focus areas are:
- Place-based resilience
Support the wellbeing of communities by improving health and safety, protecting cultural heritage, and caring for the environment and adapting to climate change, based on their local priorities and strengths. - Gender equality
Create more inclusive communities by supporting the rights, safety and economic participation of women and girls, while also engaging with men and boys as allies to reduce gender-based violence and promote shared responsibility. - Capacity development
Enhance local skills, grow local talent, and support local leadership and community organizations in leading their own long-term vision for community development.
Teck Employee Donation Match Program
This initiative allows our employees to amplify the impact of their personal donations through a donation-matching system supported by Teck. Employees can support causes closest to their heart; the company matches their contributions, effectively doubling the impact of their personal donations. Funds are directed towards community organizations, in alignment with Teck’s values of solidarity, equity and social responsibility.
