Proceeds were also contributed from a limited edition
t-shirt created by our product teams in North America.
We take seriously the responsibility to assist the global
communities we serve. In my role as chairman of Gap
Foundation’s Board of Trustees, it’s inspiring to see that
our employees increased their number of volunteer hours
to 433,000.
We were also proud that the Gap Inc. P.A.C.E. (Personal
Advancement & Career Enhancement) program to help
female garment workers was recognized by the Clinton
Global Initiative as an exemplary approach to women’s
economic empowerment. It was especially fitting that Bob
Fisher received the honor from former President Bill Clinton
given his involvement in the development of the program.
All of us at Gap Inc. continue to draw strength from the
Fisher Family. A notable highlight of 2011 was the induction
of our founders, Doris and Don Fisher, into the California
Hall of Fame. Doris accepted the award in recognition of
their transformation of retail, and their contributions to
our communities, to education, and to the arts.
In fact, the passion and character of our founders set a high
bar for our management team, our leaders and our 132,000
employees. A day seldom passes when their ability to win
while creating a company with a heart isn’t top of mind.
Looking ahead to 2012, we’re determined to take the
lessons from the past and apply them to what lies ahead.
The opportunity to grow our brands and our divisions –
both in North America and globally – drives round-the-clock
efforts to return Gap Inc. to a high level of performance.
I will be excited to report back to you with our progress a
year from now.
