Sustainability Report 2021 20 Sustainability Report 2021 20 We turn our values into local action through community engagement efforts driven by our belief that equity-centered engagement contributes to a more just, fair and humane world. We are committed to working collaboratively to address historical inequities and to learning from leaders who understand the issues we hope to help solve. Applied Materials and the Applied Materials Foundation focus funding on nonprofits working to advance education, civic engagement, arts and culture, the environment, and girls’ empowerment—the latter primarily through the Generation Girl® initiative, a signature Foundation program. We also pivot in response to societal need, as we have over the past two years to support community service organizations and first responders during critical periods of the COVID-19 pandemic. At Applied Materials, making a positive contribution to the world around us is the foundation of our culture. We respect each individual, welcome diversity and embrace different perspectives as a key component of innovation—valuing our differences is our greatest strength.
