Doosan Bobcat staff give back to communities through volunteer time

Doosan Bobcat volunteering days

DOOSAN Bobcat employees around the world are giving back this year by volunteering in their communities.

From activities taking place close to company locations stretching from the UK, Czech Republic, France, Belgium, and Germany to those in South Africa and the United Arab Emirates, staff are making positive contributions for the communities where they work across the EMEA region.

In total, more than 484 employees have dedicated 917 volunteer hours.

“Just as Doosan Bobcat’s teams are committed to empowering customers and each other to accomplish more, we are also committed to building stronger communities and a better tomorrow,” said Scott Park, Doosan Bobcat CEO and vice chairman. “By volunteering our time and talent, our employees around the world continue to make an impact on the communities where we live and work.”

The volunteer activities are part of Doosan Bobcat Community Days, a company-wide effort aimed at giving back to the communities where employees live and work.

Activities have included projects that preserve the environment such as planting fruit trees and bushes; community herb gardens; implementing bee hives, bug houses and insect hotels and planting wildflowers, as well as cleaning up an area close to a local dam and greening office environments. In applicable projects, volunteers used a fleet of Bobcat equipment – such as compact loaders, mini-excavators, compact tractors, mowers and more – to make tough jobs easier.

“It is our mission to empower people, and being a good neighbour in our communities is part of our commitment and our culture,” Scott Park added. “We ensure our employees have the support to give back because making a difference in the world starts at home.”
