greater impact in our communities, and better engages our employees’ passions and skills. Stakeholders were asked to identify social issues that were most important to them. Those issues were then balanced against our historic philanthropic priorities, our expertise, and how each best serves the world. From there, we developed our new community investment strategy focused on Reducing the Burden of Cancer, Diversifying the Healthcare Talent Pipeline, and Emergency Preparedness and Disaster Relief. These pillars align with McKesson’s purpose and complement the focus areas of Care 360°, serving to guide us as we increase our philanthropic investments over the next five years. In addition to enabling us to formalize our community investment strategy, the discovery tour yielded important insights, such as: • Our employees are excited about volunteering and are encouraged when they see our executives rally behind social issues • Programs that support employees as they face hardships or engage in their own communities continue to be cornerstones of our strategy • While we were contributing to several nonprofit organizations, some of those contributions lacked strategic focus and some of our stakeholders were unable to appreciate how these contributions connected to a broader purpose Driving impact As we implement this new community investment strategy, our top priority will be empowering and inspiring our employees to make a difference in their communities. We will continue to offer volunteer programs for all McKesson employees, such as the Foundation’s matching gift program. “In FY21, McKesson took a bold step to increase impact and drive change in communities across the U.S. and globally. Part of this change is recognizing we can do more for our communities by investing in a more strategic way ,” said Kelvin A. Baggett, M.D., McKesson executive vice president and chief impact officer. “We are very thankful to all the employees, senior leaders and external stakeholders who helped us on this discovery tour journey. Their support was critical in helping us maximize long-term impact in our communities.” While the pandemic did not pause our philanthropic efforts, it afforded us a rare opportunity to think about it differently. We look forward to investing in nonprofit and charity organizations to create healthier communities, Advancing Health Outcomes for All. We saw an opportunity to improve how we serve our communities , and we recognized the need for insight from a wide range of stakeholders.
