Investing in our communities, whether in the form of dollars, time or any other resource, is embedded in who we are as Boeing employees and is an integral part of our identity. Our "DNA" as a company is to make an impact on the world -- through our products, our services and our participation in our communities' stability and well-being -- in short, our citizenship.
Employees are at the center of Boeing's community involvement efforts overall and are an integral means by which we collectively live out our role as a global corporate citizen. What we accomplish through employee participation -- in the Employees Community Fund, company-sponsored volunteerism, employee drives and other activities such as service on the governance board of a local nonprofit organization -- complements and augments what we contribute to our communities on a corporate basis.
