Corporate Social Responsibility at Saab Australia

Nothing as of yet, but i have idea's and my goal is to begin implementing them next year.

There is a decent attention to ensure healthy work environment.

CSR commitment is very high - Saab matches all fundraising by the social club and supports many charity organisations

There are a lot of talks about the social responsibility of this company and how we can help

SAAB as a global company views sustainability differently than just environment and tries hard to keep ontop of these sorts of things.

Heavy focus on supporting aboriginal industries and participation in events to show recognition

Saab supports STEM programs in schools. Sponsors staff to undertake days of volunteering. Programs for supporting veterans in the business.

Saab seems very people focused with a lot of attention given to employees and the general community. Of course, deadlines have to be met; but there have been opportunities to visit schools to mentor in stem programs, give site tours, and take a paid 'volunteering' day in community (of my choice). There is also a strong veteran community within the company, so there are many initiatives I have been involved with, like 'walk for a veteran', in support with the company.

Indigenous, Stem and veterans and I have been a part of indigenous and STEM

The are very active in this space. Last year for example, they sponsored the Invictus games and sent a number of employees to act as officials for the games.

We have solar over the building, do recycling and such. We also have a volunteer day allotted to each employee each year.

Saab engages with a number of outreach programs, particularly in the high-school/STEM and the veteran support and employment areas. It also provides a volunteer day each year for employees to use.

The company is quite conscious of the environment. This is demonstrated by the large array of solar panels on site, and the usage of water saving equipment in bathrooms. The company also provides support for veterans entering the workforce after serving. Along with this there was the recent sponsorship of the Invictus games, including sending staff there to volunteer to help with the running of the games. The company also provides volunteer leave for employees, where you receive paid leave to participate in volunteering activities.

Our company contributes to exposure in schools of possibilities for up and coming engineers. I have not yet been involved but will as my Graduate program progress.
