FLSmidth Ski Day

I was nervous, and excited at the same time.




On Saturday, March 3, 2012 FLSmidth had a Ski Day that Benefit Multiple Sclerosis. Employees of FLSmidth, their families, and friends were able to enjoy a fun filled day of skiing, talking with fellow co-workers, enjoying wonder soup and chili, and making new friends.

I'm from the Mid-South, where there's not too many mountains. Mostly, the FLSmidth Ski Day for me involved falling down the mountain, and I loved every minute of it. The scenery in Utah, and the opportunity to give back was well worth it. When we purchased our lift tickets, the proceeds went to the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Utah. It was also a wonderful opportunity to get to know other FLSmidth employees.



One of the few times I didn't fall where I was able to enjoy the view.

FLSmidth's goal of "giving back" is also manifested in the FLSmidth & Co. A/S Donation Fund, which is a non-profit institution.

The FLSmidth & Co. A/S Donation Fund is a non-profit institution whose purpose is to contribute funds to the following causes: 

• Humanitarian work, including support to the sick and handicapped
• National or cultural causes
• Nature conservation and environmental initiatives and projects
• Education and training with a business focus
• Research and development, not for individuals
• Other similar purposes of a general charitable nature

FLSmidth’s Environmental Policy outlines our commitment to being a sustainable business and supplier of sustainable solutions, as well as our responsibilities both towards the environment and the communities in which we work.
