CORPORATE CITIZENSHIP
At Whirlpool Corporation, we believe we have a responsibility
to run a strong and ethical business.
Throughout the years, we have built a culture of doing what
is right based on Whirlpool values and consistently working
to strengthen the economic and social fabric of communities
around the world.
One of the most visual ways our 73,000 employees are helping
to build a better world is through our partnership with Habitat
for Humanity International.
As one of Habitat’s largest corporate sponsors, we have directly
improved the lives of more than 40,000 families around the
world and donated nearly 80,000 appliances. We are well on
our way toward our goal of supporting every Habitat home
built globally by 2011.
In 2006, we participated in the Jimmy Carter Work Project in
India, which resulted in the completion of 100 Habitat homes.
In the United States, we also launched Building Blocks, a
program that will recognize an outstanding U.S. Habitat for
Humanity affiliate each year.
Whirlpool was a sponsor of the week-long Jimmy Carter Work Project in a village near Mumbai, India, during which Whirlpool
employees joined 2,000 other volunteers to help build 100 Habitat for Humanity homes.
