The Coates Foundation
In 2021, we launched the Coates Foundation to provide strategy and structure to Coates' philanthropic work and our approach to giving back to communities in which we operate. The Foundation is a key initiative of our Sustainability Strategy.
Supporting our communities
We are extremely proud of the role we play across Australia supporting not only our customers, but also providing a helping hand when communities need us. Through the Coates Foundation we have selected charity partners that allow us to meaningfully contribute to positive social impact by engaging our employees and supporting their own social responsibility efforts through workplace giving, as well as volunteering opportunities and activities.
In the year ahead, as communities face ongoing uncertainties due to the escalating cost of living, we will continue to focus on embedding local engagement to support communities with access to equipment and services and assistance through our partnerships.
“We are passionate about being an engaged and constructive participant in the communities in which we operate.”
- Murray Vitlich, CEO
