Social Impact Our Social Impact Strategy


Together we can drive big change. We enable people
to design more fulfilling lives and a better planet.

Our Social Impact strategy is based


on three key pillars: Culture, Community,
and Customer.
We encourage collaborative discussions between
our teams, to foster engagement and innovation
on Social Impact topics. These range from functional
and leadership sessions to cross-business group
forums. Our mission is to be a model for an inclusive
culture and to join together with others to drive
big change.

To guide our decisions about where we take a


public stance on social issues, we have an internal
engagement framework. This helps us to determine
whether we speak publicly and give our support to
a social issue, whether we take business action on it,
whether we encourage employees to donate to it, or
