Atlas Copco companies have a long history of local engagement in the societies where they operate. Besides supporting local charity projects, the Group's Community Engagement Policy also encourages companies to provide support in the case of natural and humanitarian disasters.
 
Since 1984, Atlas Copco has supported the employee managed organization Water for All, which raises funds to finance water well drilling activities and equipment in order to supply clean drinking water to needy villages and communities. Since its start more than 800 000 people have received sustainable water and more than 2 500 water wells have been installed with the support of the organization, mainly in Africa and in Asia.
