Community investment

In over half a century of contracting and development, the Leighton Group has recognised that our operations can have a significant effect on the communities in which we work.  

We believe Leighton’s legacy should be more than a completed project.  Through our corporate community investment program, we are building stronger links with the community and helping to achieve positive outcomes, long after we finish our contract. 

In Australia and Asia, the Group actively supports medical research, charitable and community organisations, youth and education projects, disadvantaged groups and organisations that are committed to preserving our natural and built heritage. 

During 2006/07, Leighton Holdings and its operating companies invested more than $4 million in community partnerships, sponsorships and charitable donations that align with our core value of recognising the needs of the community.

As the parent company, Leighton Holdings’ corporate community investment strategy is to complement and enhance our global reputation as an innovative and socially and environmentally progressive company.

Our program is focused on developing long-term partnerships with organisations that build Australia’s future skills base, protect the environment and support excellence through arts and culture.

We also support causes that are important to Leighton employees, through our workplace giving program and a series of smaller, untied donations to community organisations that improve the health, safety and wellbeing of Australians through research, prevention and support.
