Engaging Our Communities
ICL is committed to the improvement of society as well as the environment at large, and, within this framework, strives to improve the quality of life in communities in which it operates. To do so, the company supports and develops plans, initiatives and activities aimed at empowering and strengthening the social and communal fabric and provides local residents with opportunities in the areas of sustainability, science and innovation. \
ICL aims to be a significant engine for growth and to help develop the communities in which it operates. By initiating and investing in community processes and projects, together with employees and local residents, organizations and leaders, ICL works to be a positive force both in Israel and around the world.
Our charitable contributions in 2017 totaled approximately $5 million (approximately NIS 17.9 million). This amount does not include numerous hours of work that ICL employees devoted as volunteers, partly at the expense of their work hours.
