Community Engagement

ADC’s approach to community engagement reflects our long-standing commitment to valuing the communities where it does business worldwide. The company’s current mission, vision, and values include this commitment to community and people.

To fulfill this commitment, ADC and the ADC Foundation jointly design, manage and fund community-focused activities in three core areas:

• Charitable grantmaking - ADC’s funding priorities are in the areas of math and science education and technology for non-profits. This is to align our foundation focus with our core business while addressing the issue of “digital inclusion” around the globe.
  
  
• Employee volunteerism - ADC employees are committed to making a difference by giving their time and talent to the communities where we live and work. Volunteerism take place at an individual level as well as a corporate level, and ADC stands behind all of these activities by matching employee donations of time and/or money.
  
  
• Corporate community relations - The third component of ADC’s community engagement program is a focused set of corporate community relations activities, particularly in the company’s headquarters community, aimed at achieving our strategic community goals and supporting our community partners.

Key strategies for our community engagement include highly focused grantmaking, collaboration with strategic community partners, and managing internal programs and resources for sustainability.
