Corporate Responsibility

Goals

We believe that participation with communities on both a local and global level is critical, and the results of these community activities must be measurable. We're committed to setting meaningful goals and establishing effective and accurate mechanisms to enable us to evaluate our performance over time. And we do this under the watchful eye of our employees, shareholders, customers, partners, and suppliers, who we expect will hold us accountable. Here are our current corporate responsibility goals. We'll regularly update these goals and will report on our progress toward meeting them.
