Community


Engagement with the communities in which we operate forms part of our 'Sustainable Business' model and reflects the family values that underpin our company.

Our community engagement philosophy centres on activities that promote health and safety or encourage a strong sense of community. The CFC Group is proud to support many community and non-profit groups through in-kind support, funding, sponsorships or employee time.

Major Partnerships

Carnar-fin

The Carna-fin fishing competition was established in 1992 as a weekend fishing competition involving the whole family. Today it has grown into a weeklong fundraising event raising money for various local community groups whilst still maintaining its family flavour. Fishermen travel from around Australia to participate in the Carnarvon fishing competition. Centurion has been a major partner of the Carn-fin fishing event since 2008.

National Breast Cancer Foundation

The National Breast Cancer Foundation raises money for research into the prevention, detection and treatment of breast cancer. Centurion has been supporting the National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) through its “Pink Vest” and “Pink Strap” initiatives. Visitors to Centurion’s Perth facility are given pink vests to wear onsite as part of the “Pink Vest” initiative and we have commenced using pink load restraint straps to raise awareness of the cause.

Guide Dogs of Australia

Guide Dogs of Australia breed and train Guide Dogs to assist people who are blind or have a vision impairment in gaining their independence. The organisation also trains companion dogs for children and adults who are disabled or disadvantaged owing to age, isolation or ill health. In 2008/09 JCB Construction Equipment Australia partnered with Brett Kearney from the Cronulla Sharks NRL team to raise a guide dog puppy during its first twelve months of life. During this time the puppies are assessed for their suitability as a potential guide dog. “Digger” passed his puppy training and went on to become an essential aide and friend to someone in need.

Movember

During the month of November each year thousands of men grow a moustache to raise money and awareness for men’s health, especially prostate cancer and depression. Many CFC Group employees participate in this campaign each year either by growing a moustache or sponsoring someone who is a colleague.

Other community events and organisations that we have supported include:


In times of extreme need our people also pitch in. After the Black Saturday bushfires in Victoria, Cyclone Yasi and the Brisbane floods in Queensland and the 2010/11 floods in WA, teams around the country held fundraising barbecues and raised thousands of dollars for the Red Cross.
