ACO.Y ATCO Ltd

ATCO and its employees, through their company-wide ATCO Employees Participating in Communities (EPIC) fundraising program, have pledged $2.97 million to more than 500 charitable organizations.

The ATCO EPIC contribution was announced today in Calgary and Edmonton at special celebrations that brought together EPIC Committee leaders from the ATCO Group of Companies and representatives from benefiting community and charity organizations.

"The most severe global recession in sixty years has not dampened the spirit and generosity of our ATCO employees," said Nancy Southern, President and CEO, ATCO Group. "This compassion and sense of giving is a hallmark of the people of ATCO."

ATCO EPIC is a unique, employee-led fundraising initiative where employees donate to the charity of their choice and their donations are then matched by the company. This gives employees the benefit of making an impact on the communities where they live and work. Employees from all 9 ATCO principal operating companies participated in the program. Fundraising events included everything from on-line auctions to Wii competitions.

ATCO ensures that 100 per cent of the funds go directly to benefiting organizations. This is done by the company absorbing all administration costs.

Alberta-based ATCO Ltd., with more than 7,700 employees and assets of approximately $9.9 billion, delivers service excellence and innovative business solutions worldwide with leading companies engaged in Utilities (pipelines, natural gas and electricity transmission and distribution), Energy (power generation, natural gas gathering, processing, storage and natural gas liquid extraction), Structures & Logistics (manufacturing, logistics and noise abatement) and Technologies (business systems solutions).
