Europe Community Awareness Committee
Cristal Global has a very active 'Community Awareness Committee' at our Stallingborough, UK site that engages with schools, community groups and institutions. The committee volunteers have been involved with and sponsored several significant local projects on playground improvements and community building restoration in the last few years. A specific initiative with schools is 'Young Enterprise', where volunteers promote business awareness and leadership to groups of young entrepreneurs.
Bunbury, Australia
Western Australia Mentor Program
Cristal Global's Bunbury site has partnered with the Australind Senior High School since 1990 and Dalyellup Beach Primary School since 2005. We provide work experience opportunities, annual awards and incentives to students to encourage excellence in performance. We have established a Mentor Program with both schools in which our employees mentor students in their areas of interest.
Linking Communities
Our employees also work with the Leschenault Catchment Council on the Linking Communities Project. This community project has seen the restoration of the Kemerton wetlands and landscaping of native vegetation along the Collie River.
Thann, France

Our Thann site provides on-site and school-site mentoring several times per year for local students interested in pursuing careers in chemistry-related fields.
