As modern masters of global infrastructure and seasoned industry advisors, our commitment to people, planet, and performance is the foundation for all we put forth.
We are what the world is made of—we use renewable and repurposed raw materials to protect and extend the life of global infrastructure, for a more sustainable world.
Our services support critical infrastructure industries around the world. As trusted advisors with decades of proven success, we've seen it all, done it all, and are ready for whatever comes next.
Protecting what matters while preserving the future—guided by this purpose, the Koppers sustainability strategy focuses on three key pillars of people, planet, and performance.
In partnership with Robert Morris University, Koppers Leadership Forum (KLF) recently held a memorable ceremony to honor its latest cohort. Over the past year, participants from across Koppers came together to develop their leadership skills.
The program consists of four key modules:
Personal Leadership Development
Interpersonal/Group Leadership Development
Group/Social Leadership Development
Organizational Leadership
One of the most impactful outcomes from the program was the strong sense of connection and support that developed among the group.
Congratulations to this year’s KLF participants! 🎉 We look forward to seeing the continued impact this amazing group will make.
