Community Investment

By developing meaningful partnerships with non-profit organizations and giving time and expertise, as well as financial support, ATCO and its people are committed to helping create healthy, vibrant communities throughout Alberta. Together they support hundreds of projects and programs every year.

ATCO focuses on sustaining organizations or causes that support the following key areas: Health and Welfare; Community Development; Arts and Culture; Sports and Recreation; and Youth and Education.

In addition to corporate initiatives, ATCO supports its people by contributing funds donated to charities selected by employees. ATCO Employees Participating in Communities (ATCO EPIC) raised a record $1.48 million for charities across Alberta in 2006, up from $1.3 million in 2005. Building on the 2006 program, ATCO EPIC raised $1.72 million in 2007.

More than 450 communities and charities where ATCO people live and work received support in 2007. ATCO further sustains this employee-led initiative by enabling employees to oversee the various program elements.
