TO BE THE EMPLOYER, RETAILER,
INVESTMENT AND NEIGHBOR
OF CHOICE IN THE HOME
IMPROVEMENT INDUSTRY.
In some ways, our business is very simple…we provide people
with the resources and the know-how to improve their homes.
Still, ours is a large, complex and growing Company. The
Home Depot employs over 280,000 associates who interact
with millions of customers. With stores in communities in
three countries, we sell a vast array of home improvement
products, made from a wide variety of materials and natural
resources, which are sourced and purchased from suppliers
around the globe.
In all of this, one thing remains constant. We understand
our responsibility to behave ethically, to value the impact
we have on people and communities and to fairly consider
the interests of those communities. This is an integral part
of our business strategy and we believe this is a competitive
advantage for us.
Our straightforward definition of corporate responsibility
is to be both profitable and responsible and to balance this
with the needs of our communities.

and the environment visit us on-line at www.homedepot.com
