Social Responsibility
Improving life through House + Home.
Around the world today, 1.6 billion people live in substandard housing. And one-in-ten people worldwide live in “distressed communities”, experiencing a perpetual cycle of low-wage jobs, education instability, inadequate transport, and racial inequality. Helping find solutions to these problems guides our approach to corporate social responsibility across the globe at Whirlpool Corporation.
Our Focus
We continue our 110-year history of using our quality appliances, our expertise, and our time to make a real, positive difference to our consumers, in our communities and for the environment. Our work in this area revolves around two central pillars:
House and Home.
Join us on the House + Home World Tour with Habitat for Humanity!
A HOUSE provides the blueprint for success in life. It’s why we focus on enabling comfortable, nurturing places to live, where individuals and families can make healthy choices and build their best future. Our employees volunteer to build houses and improve housing adequacy alongside world-leading partners like Habitat for Humanity®.
A HOME is so much bigger than a house itself. It’s the communities where we live and work; a place where people connect. That’s why we support resilient, thriving and sustainable communities through education and neighborhood development. We work with local businesses, government and nonprofits to help improve quality of life for all residents in our neighborhoods.
