Giving back to the community has always been an important aspect of the DEME culture.
Once again in 2017, in line with its fundamental values, DEME4Life supported a wide variety of social projects across the globe. Many of the DEME4Life initiatives are driven by employees, who often spend years living locally, supporting and working with local charitable organisations in the communities where DEME operates and affects lives.
