In the Community

Our goal of making the world a better place starts in the communities where we operate. That’s why we play an active role in fundraising and research initiatives, sponsor sporting and cultural events, and contribute directly to university funds.

Kruger Scholarships

Each year, through several Kruger Funds, Kruger Inc. awards scholarships to students at various educational institutions in administration, science, engineering, pulp and paper, and management studies. Through this support, Kruger Inc. promotes advances in scientific knowledge and research, as well as the development of skills in regions where it has operations.

Since 2002, more than one million dollars have been granted to support emerging talent through university and college foundations.

    Distinction that benefits others

    Kruger established a recognition program to highlight significant health and safety milestones at its facilities across North America. Every recognition comes with a donation that is awarded to a local charitable organization selected by the winning facility. As a result of this program alone, more than $30,000 is donated to community organizations annually.

    Health and Safety Recognition - 250K Distinction
    In June 2017, the Memphis Plant completed 250,000 consecutive hours of accident-free work. The distinction included a $2,500 donation from Kruger to a local charity on behalf of the Plant. Employees selected the Memphis Buckman Boys & Girls Club, whose mission is to provide extra-curricular activity programs to enable young people to reach their full potential as caring and responsible citizens.
