Hatch raises C$1 million for COVAX and UNICEF

Mississauga, Canada, July 07, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mississauga, Canada"" Hatch employees came together in an eight–week–long campaign to raise funds in support of COVAX, helping them progress towards their goal of procuring and delivering 2 billion doses of COVID–19 vaccines globally. Through the employees' generous donations and a corporate match, $C1 million was raised!

COVAX is co–led by Gavi, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the World Health Organization, alongside key delivery partner, UNICEF. Its aim is to accelerate the development and manufacture of COVID–19 vaccines, and to guarantee fair and equitable access for every country in the world.

Unfortunately, many countries do not have the ability to maintain progress or even start. It is clear the pandemic will not truly end until all countries have equitable access to vaccines. UNICEF is working with manufacturers and partners on the procurement and delivery of vaccine doses, as well as freight, logistics, and storage for countries around the world. With Hatch's donation, UNICEF will be able to fully vaccinate (two doses) more than 187,000 people worldwide.

"To end this pandemic, we need to think globally and act locally to make a difference beyond our families and our company""this is the basis of real positive change around the world. As a global company, we are engaging great people who make a difference every day in their communities, with our clients, and with each other. Together, we saw the imperative to support the world's largest mass health campaign to stop the COVID–19 virus and move forward into a better future," shared John Bianchini, Hatch's Chairman and CEO.

"On behalf of UNICEF, I would like to thank Hatch for its support in ensuring widespread and equitable delivery of COVID–19 vaccines. They stepped up to help UNICEF in its efforts to deliver the largest fastest immunization campaign in history. We are grateful to Hatch employees for their contributions and to Hatch for increasing the impact by matching every dollar raised," shared David Morley, UNICEF Canada's President and CEO.

Hatch is committed to doing its part to support efforts to end the COVID–19 pandemic. Hatch also recently sponsored the "This is our Shot" movement, a consortium of grassroots organizations, Canadian businesses, associations, healthcare professionals, community leaders, and influencers focused on educating and inspiring Canadians so that vaccine hesitancy is replaced with confidence.

Hatch LTK celebrates 100th anniversary

Philadelphia, PA, March 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hatch LTK, a global powerhouse in transportation engineering with specialized expertise in transit, vehicles, and systems, will celebrate its 100th anniversary on Monday, March 15.

The company was founded in Philadelphia, PA in 1921 by Louis Tobias Klauder, who was the sole employee at the time. Over the years, the firm grew to more than 450 employees in 23 offices spread over four countries, including China and Australia. In November of 2020, LTK merged with Hatch, a global engineering, project management, and professional services firm with 9,000–plus employees in the mining, infrastructure, and energy sectors.

Hatch LTK's centennial commemoration will continue throughout 2021 as the company highlights key moments in its history, hosts events for employees and clients, and conducts community service projects.

"As we celebrate the firm's 100th anniversary, we look back with pride at our substantial accomplishments," said Dominic DiBrito, Hatch's managing director, Infrastructure, USA. "We have connected communities, which has allowed individuals to commute to better jobs. We have helped transform urban design by developing crucial transit corridors. And, we've played a significant role in reducing climate change by helping to provide more efficient transportation options.

"Through all of this, we have remained close to the communities we serve, giving back by volunteering, and supporting local philanthropic causes. Now, having joined the Hatch family, we look forward with great anticipation to the next 100 years. Together, there is nothing we can't achieve."

John Bianchini, Hatch's chairman and CEO added: "As we reflect on Hatch LTK's 100 years and the impacts that we've created during that time, we're inspired to continue to build on that legacy to create unprecedented outcomes for our clients by partnering with them to develop better ideas for many years to come. Combining the LTK transit team with Hatch's global multidisciplinary staff with broad design and construction experience in freight rail, transit, and port infrastructure yields a premier service offering to all of our clients. Together, we'll continue tackling the toughest challenges facing our communities now and into the future."
