| Boeing, our employees
and retirees gave
generously in 2001,
including $8.4 million
in relief funds for
victims of Sept. 11
tragedies. Our people
also gave freely of
their time, supporting
a variety of volunteer
activities in their
local communities. |

|
| Good corporate citizenship is a key Boeing value. We
work with our communities by
volunteering and financially supporting education and
other worthy causes. Our sustained
involvement and ongoing investments in communities where
we live and work
are important to our company culture and our business
philosophy. |
| We fulfill our commitment to good citizenship through
cash, in-kind and surplus
donations, and the contributed time and expertise of our
people. We support programs
like the Employees Community Fund (ECF) — the largest
employee-owned charitable
organization in the world. ECF encourages the charitable
generosity of Boeing
employees and retirees, providing them with a powerful
tool for collective giving. In
2001, company and employee cash contributions were more
than $92.7 million. A
substantial portion of these gifts — more than $43.9
million — came from exceptionally
generous Boeing employees and retirees, through ECF and
individual donations. |
| Community involvement is strategically focused in four
areas. Education receives the
largest portion of charitable contributions, with 40 to
45 percent targeted to support
public elementary and secondary schools and higher education.
One strategic focus is
support to the education of women and minorities, which
will help develop a quality
workforce emphasizing the rich diversity that is a key
to progress. |
| In health and human services, we emphasize programs
that go beyond relief to provide
successful long-term outcomes and help children and adults
become selfreliant,
productive citizens. Support of culture and the arts targets
the performing
and visual arts and organizations that help citizens understand
and appreciate the
arts, science and technology. Finally, Boeing supports
programs and organizations
that promote environmentally safe and responsible communities,
teach the values of
informed stewardship of natural resources and encourage
environmental awareness. |
