Community Care
SKF is present in more than hundred cities and locations across the world. Our most fundamental responsibility towards society is to manage our business and operations in a responsible and accountable manner.
Our presence in these locations – sales offices, factories, warehouses – contributes to local society by creating safe, meaningful work for people in a respectful and rewarding environment, and through the taxes we pay to the national and local authorities.
However, we believe we can do more than creating jobs and paying taxes. In fact we want to do more. The communities we operate in represent our future market and workforce; when a society grows, SKF grows with it.
Our approach to Community Care is very straightforward – it is planned and executed by our local people at the community level. The SKF Social Policy provides SKF units globally with a simple framework, which guides and supports our local management on how to best engage SKF in worthwhile projects for the benefit of the society and its citizens - education, sport, health or simply extending a helping hand to the less fortunate in times of need.
