The document discusses corporate citizenship programs at both global and local levels. At the global level, companies establish executive committees and stakeholder teams to set strategy, oversee issues, and manage cross-company projects. Locally, community involvement teams vet and approve grant opportunities, volunteer activities, and metrics reporting according to the global strategy. The document also outlines The UPS Foundation's focus areas of diversity & inclusion, environment, community safety, and volunteerism and how it supports both national/international corporate grants and more local grants recommended by regions and employees.

- Let’s review The UPS Foundation focus areas. We invest in programs that connect to our global logistics business and the expertise of our people in four key focus areas: Diversity & Inclusion, Environment Sustainability, Community Safety and Volunteerism By focusing our local and corporate grants in key areas of expertise, we can bring valuable knowledge and resources to the table. It is our volunteerism and personal engagement in communities that will be most recognized and remembered, not cash contributions. We best position ourselves to bring our best assets to bear on community problems. Through our various programs, the goal of the UPS Foundation is to ensure our activities improve the lives of individuals by strengthening the capacity of nonprofits to more effectively serve their communities and fulfill their missions. Above all else, we strive to build UPS by building stronger communities.
