With operations in the heart of Greene County, EQT Corporation is always looking for ways to stay meaningfully engaged in the communities where their employees live and work. This past August they teamed up with Waynesburg Borough to help with jobs around the community. In total, EQT volunteers devoted 176 hours to their work as they helped with several different jobs around the Borough.
“Our employees are always looking for opportunities and ways to stay actively involved in the community,” said Ellen Rossi, President of the EQT Foundation. “An EQT employee took the initiative and reached out to other organizations in the Greene County community, which sparked a connection with the borough, who at the time needed volunteer support.”
Once the connection was made, EQT volunteers got to the work, which included repairing the gazebo, updating electrical lines, and replacing water lines to the fountain. Along with these renovations, EQT was also able to go the extra mile by finding a vendor to donate a new fountain liner, which the volunteers were able to install. As members of the Greene County community, EQT values the relationship with Greene County and its leaders and always looks to strengthen those relationships.
“At EQT, we value the relationships we have built in our communities and believe it is our responsibility to be active and give back in meaningful ways,” said Rossi. “It is truly at the heart of all we do. Volunteer opportunities such as this are truly meaningful to our employees and allow them to create strong connections with community members and organizations. It is incredibly rewarding to be able to devote volunteer time during work hours while also getting to see the positive impact in the communities where we operate.”
As a company, EQT and it’s employees are always looking for different opportunities to volunteer in their communities. Connections like this between the company and Waynesburg Borough are the lifeblood of EQT as they try to get involved in the community they live and work. Each employee of the company gets involved in these community service opportunities as they contribute to the company’s overall goal.
“We are always looking for new volunteer opportunities and ways to contribute to the community,” said Rossi. “Throughout the year, EQT encourages each employee to devote 20 hours of volunteering time, meaning every month we are finding ways to stay involved and give back.”
With this and several other connections happening throughout the area, EQT continues to support several organizations around the Greene County area and they are always looking for the chance to help.
“The value of being involved in a connected community like Greene County allows us to collaborate, partner, and offer volunteer support on a consistent basis,” added Rossi.
