Community Engagement

Our continued success depends on the growth and health of the communities in which we operate. That is why we work with a diverse group of global, national and local organizations to bring positive, measurable improvements in communities where we operate around the world. Together, we are helping address challenges confronting our communities. Globally, our charitable giving in fiscal 2010 exceeded $57 million. The impact of our giving is extended by the volunteer efforts of our employees worldwide.
