Our contribution
At Urenco we offer well-paid, high-skilled jobs and invest in our people and the areas where we operate. As well as safe and secure working environments, we provide practical and financial support to local communities through our work with local charities, including donations and employee volunteering. Through our Social Investment Programme we also work in partnership with charitable organisations that promote opportunities and economic advancement.
