Whirlpool Corporation drives economic growth by investing
in people who design, engineer and assemble our products,
and these same people help build up our communities. We
have built a culture of responsibility that is good for our
business, the environment and society overall. Our culture
of doing the right things, quietly working behind the
scenes to strengthen the economic and social fabric of
the communities in which we operate, has enabled our
consumers to trust us and team up with us. By joining
together with others, we nurture positive, sustaining
and thriving communities. This allows us to focus our
investments back into the very communities that drive our
success, creating a culture of collective impact.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
IS RESPONSIBLE BUSINESS
[Innovation, Growth, Leadership]
People matter. It is for this reason that
we maintain strong connections to the
communities where our employees live
and work. We hold a fundamental belief
that there is more we can accomplish by
further focusing our talent and resources
to help meet community needs. Through
our signature charities, volunteerism and
Whirlpool Foundation strategic initiatives,
we are finding new, creative ways to make
lasting community investments.
