This past year, our employees and partners took our Corporate Social Responsibility efforts to a whole new level. With presence in nearly 200 countries and territories, we have our work cut out for us when it comes to giving back to our communities. But this is a challenge we take in stride. From opening schools to responding to emergency situations around the globe, we’re steadfast in our commitment to showing up when and where it matters.
