Our Areas of Support and Charitable Causes
Community and Sustainability
ASTM International is a proud supporter of many programs and activities in its communities, including those surrounding its global headquarters near Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA).
The Conshohocken and West Conshohocken fire companies keep the community safe thanks in part to our supporting donations which allow them to buy up-to-date equipment for workers and emergency vehicles.
ASTM International's support of Friends of Conshohocken Free Library support library events for children and families. Our donations have also allowed the library to buy state-of-the-art computer equipment which includes access to our 12,000+ technical standards.
ASTM International also supports West Conshohocken Park and Recreational programs, ensuring members of the community have safe and friendly places to enjoy nature.
