Applied Materials is committed to corporate citizenship that improves communities, creates opportunities, and helps Make Possible a Better Future for people around the world. Through our philanthropic and community investments in four strategic areas, we are making a positive contribution in regions where our employees work and live. We support initiatives in Education, Environment, Civic Development, and Arts & Culture.
Applied’s commitment to invest in global communities is rooted in our history, demonstrates our core values of responsibility and integrity, and supports our vision to Make Possible a Better Future.
In Singapore, Applied has been an active participant in the community since 2011, partnering with organizations such as Community Chest, National Gallery, North East CDC, NParks and many more. CSR activities are led by various employee groups, each with a specific area of focus such as social impact, sustainability, women’s development, young professionals etc. These groups plan CSR activities every year and they are manned by a team of staff volunteers and a senior leadership team member.
We are proud to have been awarded the Community Chest Awards for our contributions to the social service sector several times over the years. In 2019, Applied was also conferred the Distinguished Partner in Progress (DPIP) Award by the government of Singapore, recognising the company’s significant economic and community contributions to Singapore.
