Publish date

Trade Release

HOUSTON – (April 11, 2019) – KBR, Inc. (NYSE: KBR) announced today that as part of its ongoing commitment to the UK's Armed Forces KBR has re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant in the presence of Major General Ranald Munro, Assistant Chief of Defence Staff and Reserves.

KBR re-stated its pledge and outlined its further commitment to continuing to support veterans, reservists, cadets and forces families; from providing careers support to providing flexible working opportunities with the company.

As one of the early signatories of the Covenant KBR signed its original pledge in 2014. Since then the MOD has updated the Covenant to acknowledge employers who provide exceptional support to the armed forces community and defense by going above and beyond their covenant pledges. A 3 tier approach of bronze, silver and gold award has now been introduced and KBR is striving to achieve Gold status.

Speaking at the re-signing, General Ranald Munro, Assistant Chief of Defence Staff Reserves and Cadets, said: "I am delighted that KBR has re-signed the Armed Forces Covenant today which shows great leadership and commitment.

"There are huge benefits to both industry and the Ministry of Defence from working together in partnership and combining our skills and talents. I look forward to our continued relationship," he said.

KBR, who has a long track record of delivering high quality services to the UK's Armed forces, from delivering military flight training services in RAF Cranwell and RAF Valley to providing modern living and working accommodation for soldiers under Project Allenby Connaught, used the event to celebrate its partnerships with local military charity Combat Stress.

Joining forces with the veterans' charity, KBR employees took part in the charity's annual fundraiser "March in March". Around 50 employees from KBR stepped over the finish line having walked 10 miles in March to raise much needed funds for the Surrey-based charity.

On the same day KBR signed the Covenant, KBR Aspire Defence was announced as a Platinum Sponsor of the UK Armed Forces Day Weekend event 2019 being held in Salisbury in June.

"KBR is honored to continue to work closely with the UK Ministry of Defence as well as our chosen military charities, Combat Stress and Little Troopers," said Stuart Bradie, KBR President and CEO. "KBR employs a number of ex-military personnel and values the huge contribution they bring to the business."
