Umicore supports its local communities
Umicore seeks to benefit the communities in which it operates. These benefits can be both direct and indirect. Direct benefits take the form of employment and the payment of local taxes etc. Umicore wants the benefits of its activities to extend beyond these direct impacts and wishes to be seen as a responsible corporation and as a good corporate neighbour. Umicore wishes to support a number of worthwhile causes both financially, as well as putting time and talent at their disposal.
The basic principles of this philosophy are explained in a extract from Umicore's donations and sponsorship policy
