Feature Story – Building FuturesAs children across the globe prepared to go back to school, Fluor employees donated to the company’s annual Building Futures backpack project to assist them. Nineteen Fluor sites participated in the efforts, donating more than $117,000 to provide school supplies and other necessities to over 8,000 children. For 11 years, Fluor’s Building Futures program has collectively touched the lives of more than 75,000 children around the world by employees donating backpacks filled with the basic tools and resources students need for learning.

Fluor employees are truly “Building Futures” of youth.

Fluor Community Impact ReportIssue 2, October 2012

Fluor Houston raised over $41,000 for Building Futures. Manila and Cebu offices (Philippines) provided almost 900 students with backpacks and school supplies.

Centennial Community Fund Planting trees to stabilize the growing desert and prevent destructive sandstorms in China, building a greenhouse to extend the growing season to feed hungry children in Greenville, South Carolina, and remodeling homes for cancer patients in Chile to provide the minimum conditions needed for a healthy recovery are just a few examples of the sustainable impact Fluor’s Centennial Community Fund projects are making around the globe.

Since the announcement of the 10 Centennial Community Fund recipients at Fluor’s Centennial Celebration April 21, 2012, the benefiting organization for each project has received US$10,000 and Fluor employees have been volunteering their time and talents to bring these projects to fruition.

Because of the diversity of the 10 projects, they are all in various stages of completion. Some projects require more behind-the-scenes planning, while some are dependent on the weather and other factors. Some encounter challenges and obstacles along the way, and in true Fluor fashion and spirit, our employees meet those challenges head on and come up with creative and innovative solutions to keep their projects moving forward.

Nominating employees for the 10 projects have been documenting their projects’ progress with updates, photos, and even videos on their blog pages – and you have the opportunity to follow along and post encouraging comments throughout the remainder of the year.

At the end of the year, an additional US$10,000 “best in class” will go to the benefitting organization of the project that has demonstrated the most progress, most employee support, greatest impact and highest visibility in the community.

Partner Profile – STEM Education Fluor believes education, particularly the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM), is a foundational component of success in the 21st century. Therefore, Fluor supports higher education and university STEM programs as well as those benefiting grades K-12, with particular emphasis on: STEM teacher training and professional development and middle and high school STEM programs.

Fluor has been making waves in STEM education. Through cumulative investments in several programs and initiatives over the past 12 months, Fluor supported STEM enrichment opportunities that will help prepare more than 1,650 students become the next generation of innovators to compete in the future. Read how Fluor is impacting the communities across the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Dallas Fluor made a $10,000 contribution to Teaming for Tomorrow, a five-day workshop conducted on-site at the University of Texas at Dallas (UTD), for 100 girls in grades 9 to12, giving them an opportunity to explore STEM careers and experience life on campus. Successful women currently working in STEM careers mentored the girls and exposed them to a range of STEM related coursework, as well as professional skills. Girls were able to imagine having a career that lets them be creative, active, well-paid and change the world for the better through hands on, interactive curriculum-based activities facilitated by STEM role models. Girls explored a variety of STEM careers including electrical engineering, chemical engineering, food science, and much more.

To cap their experience, girls were invited to experience an on-site career exploration opportunity at a local STEM Life Lab. The Teaming for Tomorrow program incorporates findings from a recent Girl Scout Research Institute report on STEM and is designed to not only give girls the opportunity to visualize themselves pursuing and achieving goals in higher education and/or successful STEM careers, but it instills in them confidence and gives them the tools to make their future dreams a reality.

Houston The Dr. Ronald E. McNair Educational Foundation (DREME) Team visited the Fluor Houston office. Fluor Houston’s Graduates Advancing to Professionalism (GAP)SM Team, a Fluor organization that aims to help recent college graduates make the transition from the academic to corporate environment, hosted 40 students and 6 chaperones for a fun day of engineering education. Fifteen GAP members developed a hands-on, interactive program that demonstrated engineering practices and incorporated Fluor values, such as collaboration and team work. GAP focused on logistics, development, and the implementation of a program suitable for high school students. Students took a tour on the Multi-Projects Group floor where they participated in an interactive work station rotation and participated in a competition which simulated the design and project execution aspects of structural engineering.

Southern CaliforniaThe non-profit MIND Research Institute has received $15,000 from Fluor Foundation to support the Orange County Math Initiative, an effort to increase math proficiency in local elementary schools and provide students with the knowledge required for future jobs in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM). This grant brings Fluor’s total support of the local initiative to $75,000. Because of Fluor’s donation, 1,040 students received STEM education.

Calgary Fluor invested in a $25,000 grant to the Canada Science & Technology Museums Corporation Foundation in support of their Summer Institute for Teachers. The Summer Institute for Elementary Teachers is a three-day professional learning workshop for primary and junior teachers from across Canada. The program shares innovative teaching strategies for integrating science, technology, engineering, and math into classroom lessons. At least 31 teachers participated as a result of Fluor’s funding.

FarnboroughFluor’s GAP team in Farnborough hosted engineering days at Robert May’s School, Cove School and Tomlinscote School for Engineering Challenge Day. At each event, Fluor employees implemented an engineering competition for nearly 450 10th grade students (age 14 to 15). The teams created marble rollercoasters for the competition.

In addition, GAP participated in The Sixth Form College’s annual Career Day. This event gave Fluor engineers an opportunity to talk to students about a career in engineering, and students were able sit one-on-one and ask questions. The engineers also led a seminar about “Being an Engineer” to 35 students. “As an engineering services company dependent upon a diverse and highly-skilled workforce, it is good business for us to invest in the next generation of innovators, problem solvers and critical thinkers. The foundational knowledge, mental discipline and skills are where we want to make an impact,” said Torrence Robinson, Senior Director, Community Affairs, Fluor. “I believe our STEM education portfolio is becoming well-positioned for the future.

Fluor Cares Feature – Fluor and the Great Canadian Shore CleanupAs a joint effort between Fluor’s Vancouver, Calgary and St. John’s Long Harbour offices, groups of employees from each office rallied together to help clean up Canada’s oceans, rivers and lakes. Over 70 employees across Canada assisted in the effort to clean up nearly 900 pounds of garbage over 5 kilometers (3 miles) of shoreline to ensure the shores are clean for the generations to come. This event was especially meaningful this year with the Long Harbour office working diligently to clean up the post effects of Hurricane Leslie on the project site.

The Great Canadian Shore Cleanup is in its 18th year with more than 56,000 volunteers around Canada participating during the week of Shore Cleanup to help their communities. This program is sponsored by various foundations, including the World Wildlife Foundation, and the results of the project are reported to Ocean Conservancy’s International Coastal Cleanup.

“We would like to expand this initiative to include Fluor’s other offices worldwide for the 2013 cleanup,” says Anthony Cheung, Fluor Canada’s Great Canadian Shore Cleanup coordinator.

Fluor has a commitment to responsible stewardship of the environment and supports programs like the Great Canadian Shore Cleanup that focus on conservation, restoration and beautification of natural resources and habitats.
