Celanese
proactively safeguards ourselves, others and the environments in which we do business. The company actively
engages to avoid and eliminate any adverse impact on human health and the environment. Celanese is committed
to sustainable business for our customers, shareowners, employees, neighbors and business partners.
Through
contributions of time, money and talent, the people of Celanese extend our closely held values into
our communities by working toward a positive and lasting difference.
Volunteer
teams at our sites choose the local causes they wish to support. Red Cross, YMCA, Meals on Wheels, American
Cancer Society, local schools, homeless shelters, chambers of commerce, charities and municipal emergency
agencies are among the many beneficiaries of our company's giving programs.
United
Way
Support for local United Way or United Fund organizations is a key community
relations priority for Celanese sites in the United States. Celanese is well represented in annual fund-raising
campaigns, and the company matches employee contributions.
Our employees contribute
to the success of United Way by serving in leadership positions on boards and cabinet committees. In
the larger communities where we do business, our sites serve as Pacesetter contributors. In recent years,
Celanese has heightened its encouragement of employee participation.
In our
headquarters city of Dallas,
Celanese now ranks in the top 10 of Dallas based companies in many of the key metrics used by United
Way. We achieved this by setting stretch goals, measuring progress and refusing to be satisfied with
past performance.
Habitat
For Humanity
Celanese is committed to helping those in need. Habitat
for Humanity has created more than 2,000 homes in the DFW area, a truly remarkable achievement, and
Celanese is proud to be associated with this great nonprofit organization.
