Local outreach
Strengthening communities, stimulating integration and promoting diversity
As a responsible company, we want to play our part in the communities we operate in. By partnering with businesses and organizations in the regions around the world where ASML is located, we are building trust and giving back.
Making a difference in our communities
You’ll find ASML people spread over 60 locations across Europe, the US and Asia. With such a widespread presence, it’s important that we engage with and support the communities where we are based.
Our passionate employees contribute to local projects and organizations that make a difference in their community. And as a company, we provide sponsorship and donate funds to local nonprofit organizations.
Volunteering
Through our global volunteering program, managed bythe ASML Foundationwho is also a key partner of many of our local outreach activities, we encourage employees to become more involved in their local communities. Everyone is able to use eight hours a year as a paid volunteering day with the event, charity or activity of their choice within the criteria of this program.
Sponsorship
We support local projects and initiatives that focus on our three community engagement areas: education, local outreach, and arts and culture. The support we offer could be financial or the provision of knowledge and services, depending on the project.

Partnership with PSV
In 2019, together with five other partners from the region, we became the main sponsor of our local soccer club:PSV. This club sits at the heart of our local community and is a uniting force for the health and social wellbeing of our local community. By joining forces, we can collaborate and do more together. We run a number of initiativestogether with PSV, including training camps for school-aged children, supporting an online vitality program, developing interactive teaching programs and make soccer accessible for members of the community facing hardships or those who are new to the region.
Brainport Eindhoven Partner Fund
We are part of theBrainport Eindhoven Partner Fund, where we share the ambition to strengthen the region and to support local people who are struggling. Through this partnership, we participate in community activities to help tackle urgent social challenges in the region – for example, we support services that provide budgeting and financial management advice for people in need.
Other social initiatives
We support a variety of other social initiatives. For example, we provide yearly donations to the local food bank, Ronald McDonald House and Stichting Leergeld. We also support regional activities that focus on building social connections and helping newcomers get acquainted with the region and local culture. And every year, in collaboration with theASML Foundation, organize the ‘Angel Tree’: a collection of presents for children whose parents are clients of the local food bank.

Caring for the planet and people
Beach cleanups
To help preserve and protect nearby nature, our teams in Asia participate in regular beach cleanups. Colleagues with family and friends put their appreciation for the environment into action by removing garbage from reservations and nature parks.
Holiday giving
Over the holiday season, our Christmas Shoebox Project collects gifts that are prepared and wrapped by ASML employees. The shoeboxes are sent to children from economically disadvantaged families in remote areas, bringing a spark of holiday joy with each delivery.
