Caring for our communities | Owens Corning Foundation | Owens Corning
Owens Corning

Sustainability is rooted in the idea that people deserve the opportunity to enjoy a high quality of life. That’s why we consistently seek to engage with communities around the world, especially in the places where our people live and work. It’s an idea that is very much in keeping with our values — especially the idea that we are dedicated to caring for our people and our communities.

While financial support is an essential element of our approach to corporate citizenship, we are proud of the fact that our employees are very much at the center of our efforts around the world. Their volunteerism is a key driver of our community engagement efforts, and in many ways, they guide our philanthropic endeavors.

In fact, it’s our goal that by 2030, 100% of our employees will be actively engaged in their communities through company-sponsored activities.
