BOC is the leading provider of gases and related products, services and solutions in the South Pacific. They service 400,000 customers through 40 production facilities, 90 retail outlets, more than 1000 gas agents and 2,200 employees.
The BOC Group, which serves two million customers in more than 50 countries, is one of the largest and most global of the world's leading gases companies. It employs some 44,500 people worldwide and had annual sales of over $11 billion in 2004.
BOC's sponsorship of RYDA unites two important principals by which BOC operates:
There are no higher priorities than the health and safety and our colleagues, contractors, suppliers, customers and local communities.
We will be a good corporate citizen in the communities where we operate.
Part of BOC's existing Community Investment Programme is its role as Major Corporate Supporter of 'The Malcolm Sargent Cancer Fund for Children' in Australia. In New Zealand, protection of the water environment has been assisted through the 'Where There's Water' scheme of environmental grants.
BOC will use its national presence in almost 150 towns and cities, the dedication of its employees and network of customers and suppliers, to ensure the RYDA programme can reach as many young people as possible.
