HAYNSWORTH SINKLER BOYD & GREENVILLE CHAMBER HONOR FLUOR CORPORATION

Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd, P.A. will recognize Fluor Corporation with its 7th annual International Economic Development Award at the Greenville Chamber's International Event Luncheon on Wednesday, May 20, 11:30 a.m., at the Greenville Marriott. This will be the Chamber's 17th annual event honoring the many international companies in the Greater Greenville area that have contributed to the region’s successful growth and development.

“Each year Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd presents our International Economic Development Award to an organization that has played a major role in international business development in the Upstate region of South Carolina,” said Anne S. Ellefson, managing director of Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd PA. “This is Fluor’s 75th year in South Carolina, and we are delighted to honor a company whose second largest global office is in Greenville. Our community and state greatly value and benefit from Fluor’s world-class accomplishment and economic diversification.”

For 75 years, Fluor has been providing engineering, procurement, construction, maintenance and project management services to diverse multinational clients. Fluor has 60 global offices that serve clients in a variety of industries. It consists of five business groups, three of which are headquartered in Greenville, offering its employees many career opportunities and challenges within different market segments. Greenville is Fluor’s second largest global office, and it employs more than 2,500 professionals in the Upstate.

Annette Allen, general manager of Fluor’s Greenville office, will accept the award from Haynsworth Sinkler Boyd’s Managing Director Anne S. Ellefson and Greenville Mayor Knox H. White, also a shareholder at the law firm. Previous recipients include South Carolina State Ports Authority, South Carolina Technology and Aviation Center (former Donaldson Industrial Center), Greenville Technical College, BMW Manufacturing Co., Michelin North America, and the Upstate Alliance.

“The Upstate’s international companies are not only important to the region for the jobs they create, but for the cultural opportunities they bring to the community as well,” said Chamber President and CEO Ben Haskew. “The Chamber hosts this annual event to say thanks to all of the Upstate international companies - for the impact they have on Greenville’s economy and its citizens.”

In 2009, Fluor marks its 75-year anniversary of doing business in South Carolina. Since its inception, the company has had a long history of community involvement, beginning with Charlie Daniel and Buck Mickel. Over the last few years, Fluor’s direct contributions include $100,000 to the Kroc Center in 2006; $100,000 to the Children’s Museum in 2007; $2,000,000 to Clemson University in 2007; and $180,000 to the Miracle Hill Rosewood Renewal Center in 2008.

Also in 2008, Fluor employees, with matching funds from the Fluor Foundation, contributed more than $1 million to United Way in Greenville County. This contribution marks the first time an amount of this size has been raised by any Upstate company in a single year.

As another testament to Fluor’s commitment to the Upstate, the company partnered with the Greenville Drive in 2008 to sponsor the renaming of West End Field to Fluor Field.

Furthermore, Fluor’s community impact goes beyond monetary donations. Over the past 13 years, Fluor employees have volunteered more than 22,000 hours to build 14 houses through Habitat for Humanity® and provided 1,400 backpacks with school supplies for the Backpack for Basics program. In 2008, 165 of its employees volunteered for Hands on Greenville; 200 employees delivered meals for Meals on Wheels; and 1,547 of its 3,400 Upstate employees volunteered 13,554 hours on community projects.

At the May 20th appreciation lunch at the Greenville Marriott (located at 1 Parkway East), registration will begin at 11:30 a.m., followed by the program and lunch at 12:00 p.m. Cost per individual ticket is $35 for Chamber members or $50 for non-Chamber members.
