We see tremendous opportunity to positively impact the planet and communities where we operate. O-I values, and is committed to, building sustainable communities in which we live and work. We aim to maintain a corporate culture where sustainability and social good are integrated into O-I’s DNA. Our people are encouraged to give back and be actively involved in the improvement of their communities. The financial support provided by our company and the O-I Charities Foundation, and the voluntary charitable leadership offered by thousands of O-I employees around the world, demonstrate this commitment.
The O-I Charities Foundation Commitment
The O-I Charities Foundation was established in 1937 and donates more than $1.5 million (USD) annually to charities and non-profit organizations in North America, along with numerous grant programs. Through our robust Employee Matching Gift Program, which matches donations dollar-for-dollar and provides a 2:1 match for educational gifts, the Foundation amplifies employee giving and provides longer-term investments in areas where the company can support broad movements for social change. O-I seeks to maximize the impact of our giving, volunteerism, and partnerships in the community while upholding our commitment to value creation.
