Nissan Annual Report 2003 37
through its philanthropic investments in
nonprofit organizations. Through Nissan
Neighbors, the company donates over
US$3 million a year in charitable
contributions, in-kind donations and
various sponsorships to support programs
that promote education, the environment,
humanitarian aid, safety and diversity. The
Nissan Foundation also supports the
company’s goal of Investment in the Future
by providing grants supporting its mission
to foster an appreciation and
understanding of diverse cultural heritages,
and to enhance career opportunities for
young adults in the automotive industry.
Established in 1992, the Nissan
Foundation’s endowment has increased
to $6 million and will grow to $10 million
by 2008.
In France, Nissan is working closely
with UNICEF, the United Nations
Children’s Fund. UNICEF reaches some
40 percent of the world’s children with life-
saving vaccines, saving countless of them
from diseases such as tuberculosis,
diphtheria and polio. To support this work,
Nissan began a program in fiscal 2003 in
which it donates €30 for every Nissan 4x4
sold. This resulted in the raising of
€385,000 during the year. In addition,
Nissan provided UNICEF in Mauritania with
a Nissan Patrol GR specially prepared with
full refrigeration facilities to transport
vaccines to remote areas.
Supporting Employees
in Community Involvement
To provide support for employee
involvement in volunteer activities, Nissan
created the Nissan Financial Support
Program for Volunteer Activities. Also,
by providing information and holding
events to experience volunteer activities,
Nissan supports and encourages
employees to participate voluntarily in
community activities and to make
charitable contributions.
