2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Social Handprint | Community Engagement | 234 By 2030, 100% of our employees will be actively engaged in their communities through company- sponsored activities. When our facilities engage with their communities, our employee volunteers get to see the difference each individual can make. Some of our facilities conduct multiple community outreach events each year, and we have expanded our global reach through a wide range of initiatives. Through surveys, our employees tell us that working for a company that supports volunteerism is very important to them, and we have seen that their participation in Owens Corning sponsored outreach strengthens their pride in the company. As part of our aspirations for 100% employee community engagement through company-sponsored outreach, we are continuing our efforts to engage facilities in community projects. By 2022, we intend to see 100% facility engagement, which will serve as a foundation for our broader 2030 goal. Our community initiatives are structured around three key priorities, which are aligned with specific U.N. Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that relate to our global communities. ■ Safe & Efficient Housing (Sustainable Cities and Communities — SDG #11). As a producer of residential and commercial building materials, we are well-positioned to help those who are unable to obtain shelter through traditional means. ■ Basic Health & Wellness (Good Health and Well-being — SDG #3 / Clean Water and Sanitation — SDG #6). We seek to extend our culture of wellness beyond the workplace and into the communities where we serve. ■ Educational Opportunity (Quality Education — SDG #4). By encouraging learning around the world, we believe we can nurture the next generation of leaders and further our goals far into the future. Whenever possible, Owens Corning combines our philanthropic activity with volunteerism among our employees, encouraging them to be fully engaged with their communities. In addition, we are able to extend our contributions through our vast network of contractors, whose track record of excellence offers an added advantage as we seek to advance our efforts. 2030 GOALS FOR COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT OUR APPROACH Number of Volunteer Experiences* * While our ability to track and measure employee volunteerism improves every year, we are currently only able to track the number of volunteer experiences and not individual volunteers. The number of volunteer experiences serves as an informative reference as we expand our reach to all global facilities. While COVID-19 restrictions led to a significant drop in volunteer experiences between 2019 and 2020, we are pleased to see our numbers trending upward in 2021. We are confident that volunteering will continue to increase as more communities begin to emerge from the pandemic.
