DESCRIPTION:
We engage with local community leaders and organizations through our corporate citizenship programs to focus on areas where we can have the greatest impact.
Our corporate citizenship initiatives are designed to:
- inspire the next generation of inventors by investing in programs that advance STEM learning and expand access to STEM education;
- promote and prioritize inclusion and diversity by engaging with organizations that closely partner with underrepresented communities to build a pipeline of diverse talent;
- encourage and support leading-edge research at universities, individual professors and students on innovation projects; and
- leverage our innovative technologies to help drive human and economic progress in underserved areas.
Giving back to the communities where we live, work and do business is central to our culture. We engage our employees in supporting and enriching our communities through volunteering and community outreach efforts. In 2021, we supported more than 1,600 nonprofits through our employee-driven grant programs – matching grants, community service grants and board service grants. And through our employee-directed local giving committees, which are in more than 25 locations globally, employees get a voice in determining how our philanthropic funds are distributed in their communities.
