Our Corporate Citizenship and philanthropic contributions

Having a diversified approach to corporate citizenship ensures we make full use of the different types of capital at our disposal, including financial and talent. We manage our corporate citizenship/philanthropic program with a clear direction and focus on our guiding principles as outlined in our citizenship strategy. Doing so enables us to have awareness of community impact, direct beneficiaries and full costs. We further recognize that charitable contributions can be used as a conduit for bribery and that is why our publicly available Anti-Bribery, and Corruption Policy, applicable globally, addresses and controls the manner in which these types of contributions can be made, and to whom.
