BKV, the Company’s subsidiary in the U.S., is committed to being a positive force within society. BKV prioritizes maintaining open and honest relationships with stakeholders and is deeply committed to being engaged with the community.
In 2023, BKV launched the first “BKV First Responder Grant Program”. This initiative is designed to establish partnerships with local first responders by providing them with financial support to enhance their services. The program started with a “First Responder Lunch and Learn” event, where BKV began discussions on safety, operations, and partnership opportunities.
First Responders in the operational areas in Texas and Northeastern Pennsylvania were invited to participate by submitting a simple one-page grant application. The community relations committee then reviewed all applications and ultimately awarded a total of 8 grants in the amount of over USD 30,000.
“As fire departments are in fierce competition with all the other city departments for funding, grants, and community organization support are crucial in helping us acquire necessary equipment. The gracious First Responder grant from BKV will go toward obtaining a vital EMS training prop helping ensure our staff remains proficient in our lifesaving EMS skills.”
