At Whirlpool Corporation, our spirit of social responsibility rests on one principle: giving back to the very communities that have helped to make the company successful. Our goal is family self-sufficiency. By providing resources, we aim to create self-reliant people who are capable of shaping a better world for themselves and others.

Beyond our own communities, we believe we have an obligation to address issues affecting the broader public. Just as our company's products help ease a family's busy workload, we recognize the increased demands on a family's time and seek to support efforts that strengthen their ability to create a safe, enriching environment for their families.

And, we believe societal issues affecting families today cannot be solved by any one sector alone. Working together with nonprofit organizations, government, educational institutions and other businesses, Whirlpool Corporation is helping to build a better world.
