A Letter from our Chairman and CEO

Dear Koch Community,

Let me begin by commending you for what you are accomplishing during these uncertain and challenging times. Koch companies and our 130,000 employees worldwide remain committed to creating the products and providing services that people value and rely on. I thank each of you for what you are doing. This is vital work.

In keeping with our Guiding Principles, we are doing our utmost to promote the health and safety of our employees during the COVID-19 pandemic. That is why we are taking additional precautions in all of our workplaces to create a safe and secure environment. We are following the CDC guidelines, practicing social distancing, installing additional sanitizing stations, and working to ensure our facilities are carefully sanitized. Our IT teams have leveraged cloud-based technologies to enable streamlined, secure remote work capabilities. We have also coordinated with insurance providers to extend benefits and alleviate any costs associated with COVID-19 testing.

You can be proud of the fact that Koch companies continue to provide essential products and services and are innovating new ones. Georgia-Pacific is working tirelessly to produce essentials such as bath tissue, paper towels, and hand sanitizer. Phillips-Medisize is ensuring the supply chain for its pharmaceutical and medical device customers remains uninterrupted. Molex is helping manufacture life-saving ventilators. More than 85 percent of COVID-19 tests in the United States are directed to labs using Infor’s healthcare IT platforms. And, the Stand Together community is working with the Family Independence Initiative to launch #GiveTogetherNow, an online effort that helps those families hit hardest by the coronavirus crisis to get immediate cash assistance.

Our president and COO Dave Robertson said it best, “Koch’s employees are at the heart of our enterprise.” Again, thank you for all that you do—today and every day. I am proud of your contributions during these difficult times.
