Fostering Economic Development Programs
At Fluor, we believe if communities thrive, their businesses and residents do too. The stability of a community is greatly affected by strategies and programs that strengthen society and encourage lasting change.
Many of our offices and project sites are in developing countries and rural areas where we have an opportunity to create progress and energize economies. Through our projects and community engagement, we strive to leave communities better than when we arrived.
Fluor puts particular emphasis on empowering women, veterans, minorities and other underserved populations to become independent and financially stable. We partner with Minority Business Development Councils and organizations such as Nexos Comunitarios and Village Ignite to help assure everyone has an equitable path to succeed in a variety of industries. In 2023, more than 50 percent of our economic development grants were focused on underserved populations.
Investing in Workforce Training
Fluor partners with organizations such as Habitat for Humanity, Homes of Hope, Workshops for Warriors and several regional technical schools to support initiatives that improve job readiness, help individuals acquire gainful employment and assist in career advancement.
In 2023, we enabled more than 435,000 hours of life skill enrichment and job training to more than 6,200 individuals and helped rebuild or refurbish 96 homes and community-serving facilities around the globe.
