We work towards enabling communities to thrive daily. Our community programs reflect our culture of social responsibility.

Through Downer Giving, you can support communities with practical initiatives such as:

Down2You

Our workplace giving program, connects our people with our four charity partners and enables employees to make regular donations that are matched by Downer. With our employees’ support, we provide an ongoing and consistent source of donations to our charity partners. 

Downer Donate

This initiative provides a platform for our employees to nominate charitable organisations and causes for financial donations from Downer. This giving program provides donations to local charities making a positive impact to the local communities we live and work within.

Community volunteering

It gives our people a meaningful opportunity to connect and engage with our local communities through team-based activities. It provides teams of employees with a chance to give back to the communities they call home and making a positive impact right where they live and work.

Family scholarships

We know how important family is to our people, and that further education can help grow the next generation of leaders. Downer’s Family Scholarships initiative allows the children and grandchildren of Downer employees the chance to be granted a $5,000 scholarship to go towards a year of tertiary study in any field.

Environmental & Community Impact Initiatives 

Our annual sustainability report provides customers, investors and other stakeholders with information on our sustainability progress and approach. We aim to embed sustainability in the way we deliver our services and operate our business. To Downer, sustainability means working to reduce our impact on the environment as well as prioritising the safety of our people, building trusted relationships and aspiring to have a diverse and inclusive workforce. These attributes, combined with our financial performance, contribute to the value that Downer provides to its shareholders.
