Financial And Social Health Of Communities Is "Significant" To Grand Metropolitan And Many Others

"We measure performance by profitability and return on investment, but there is another significant measure – how we fulfill our responsibility to the communities from which our profits are derived…. It is not just sound business sense for us to care about the environment and communities within which we work and live, it is common sense to contribute to the quality of life in our communities." Sir Allen Sheppard, describing Grand Metropolitan (ADR).

A few other examples from On My Honor I Will by Randy Pennington and Marc Bockmon:

Texas Instruments (TXN), one of the nation's leading corporations in assisting education, especially among the disabled.

I.B.M. (IBM), whose "executives on campus" program sends their top performers to the classroom to teach college students what they've learned in "the real world."

Apple Computer (AAPL) donates computers to schools to train the leaders of tomorrow.

Du Pont (DPT) has turned its Wilmington, Delaware, office complex into a wildlife habitat.
