We take giving back seriously
At Hilti, team members are encouraged to give back to our local communities. Field teams across the Canada join with office-based employees in rolling up our sleeves and building a better future where we live and work. This brings the international philosophy of the Hilti foundation to life on a local level.
We stand behind our words, too. Each team member receives two paid days off annually to volunteer as they see fit, with an organization or cause they’re passionate about. Many team members choose to collaborate with partner organizations, while others dedicate time to organizations that have personal meaning for them.
In addition to giving our team members the opportunity to make a difference, we also commit to our partners for programs like habitat builds and apprenticeships. Across North America, we choose to focus our corporate efforts on three key areas: community development, education and affordable housing.
Whether we volunteer as teams or commit our time individually, we believe giving back is more than a two-day commitment. At Hilti, giving back is at the heart of our culture and key to our purpose.

Teams who volunteer together
We strive to provide our teams a variety of opportunities to make a difference in their communities. Many enjoy taking the chance to work together with their teams or those from different functions.
Each year, we host events like Hilti Cares Week to connect our team members with local non-profits. The event encourages team members to sign up to support an organization that’s meaningful to them. Volunteer events have ranged from animal shelters and food pantries to schools, hospitals, senior support organizations and more.
Team members also have an opportunity to give through the United Way and participate at in-office events like disaster kit builds and community panels.
How would you choose to impact your community?

Leaving a Legacy
Each year, the Hilti Legacy Cup is awarded to one team member who has committed to building a better future.
The Legacy Cup winner is announced at our Annual Sales Meeting and all attending team members have the chance to contribute financially to their cause. Hilti matches the donations dollar-for-dollar, and the Legacy Cup winner makes a donation to their chosen organization in their name.
The 2019 Legacy Cup winner was Doreen DiSalvo, who chose to support SendIt, a San Francisco Bay Area non-profit that offers nature-focused trips to those battling cancer.

Build tool knowledge while building a better future
Through the commitment of our team members, we’ve contributed to dozens of homes near our Operations Center in Tulsa and in communities across North America.
