SUSTAINABILITY CORPORATE GIVING PHILOSOPHY When we contribute to an organization, we want to ensure the donation aligns with our values, pursues growth within the organization and drives an increased value for our community. This isn’t just about giving; it’s about engaging. When we choose an organization to contribute to, we look for an opportunity that is community-focused, mutually beneficial and conducive to growth through engagement. Our social responsibility programs weave company, community, and commitment where we operate around the world. Together, we respond to the needs of our local communities. Our strategic partnerships are aligned with our core values and charitable giving philosophy globally. In addition, we provide our associates opportunities to engage in our communities.
