Missouri American Water has been honored as a finalist for the
St. Louis Regional Chamber’s Ameren Corporate Citizenship Award for
demonstrating exceptional commitment to enhancing the quality of
life in the St. Louis region.
The award honors the company’s AmerICANs volunteerism program,
which engages company employees in volunteering for a variety of
good causes, with a special focus on improving our water
environment across the state.
In 2013, Missouri American Water’s AmerICANs program deployed
339 Missouri American Water employees to 30 community/charitable
activities in the St. Louis region. Many employees volunteer for
multiple events. In the St. Louis region, approximately 35 percent
of employees donated their time and talent to a variety of local
organizations – from river clean-ups, to Earth Day activities, to
school programs.
Recognizing the value of employees’ donated time and talent, the
American Water Charitable Foundation matches up to 50 hours of
employee volunteer time and up to $1,000 of employee donations.
“This volunteer outreach program grew from our employees’ ethic
of donating time and talent to organizations that make our state a
better place,” said Missouri American Water President Frank
Kartmann. “Every volunteer makes a difference; and collectively, we
are dedicated to the communities that we serve.”
