Where We've Been in FY '08

  • We continued our outreach to local communities, making over $290,000 in grants to support socially and environmentally responsible projects. Over the last 5 years, we have made nearly $1.5 million in grants to local communities.
  • We volunteered over 6,200 hours in our local communities, with participation from over 450 employees (44% of fulltime employees).
  • We implemented a new employee volunteerism program — “Dollars-For-Doers” — which generates grants to local nonprofit organizations based on volunteer commitments by our employees.
  • We successfully launched our Employee Residential CO2 Footprint Reduction Program in concert with the national Focus The Nation teach-in, a series of courses that helps individuals develop their own personalized solutions to residential CO2 footprint reduction. Participating employees reduced their personal CO2 footprints by over 160,000 lbs.
