Corporate Citizen of the Year Finalist
Komatsu Mining Corp.
4400 W. National Ave., West Milwaukee
Komatsu Mining Corp boasts more than three decades of philanthropy in Milwaukee County.
Over the years, Komatsu has generously donated millions of dollars to a multitude of organizations that champion the arts, education, health and the environment, among them the Milwaukee Art Museum, the Milwaukee Public Museum, Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, the Urban Ecology Center, the American Red Cross and United Way.
Each year, to benefit Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity, Komatsu hosts a workplace fundraising campaign (featuring prizes for participants and matching donations on Komatsu’s part) with an unusual twist. Through meetings with Habitat homeowners, Komatsu employees can see firsthand the effect their financial gifts have on individuals—and on the community as a whole.
Komatsu also encourages volunteerism among its employees, allowing flexible work schedules and recognizing those who contribute their time to local organizations, including the Hunger Task Force and The Gathering, with an annual appreciation night.
