SOCIAL / LOCAL COMMUNITIES Improving life at home by making a real, positive difference in our communities by building strong foundations and unlocking potential. We believe that the four walls around us have the power to unlock immense opportunity for the people who dwell within. It starts with decent and affordable housing: the foundation of a stable life and bright future. Having the courage to be inclusive, removing bias and focusing on leveling the playing field for everyone. That’s why Whirlpool Corporation gives purposefully of our time, funds and products to the communities where we live and work. Because everyone deserves a comfortable house to nurture dreams. What makes a house truly special lies in the personal touches; the gathering spaces for friends and family; the feeling of security knowing you have a place to call your own. And, a house provides the blueprint for success in life: where you prepare meals, get ready for work, study after school, raise children, care for aging parents and conjure plans for the future. Once that sanctuary is in place, one can look outside those walls to their home community. That’s why we invest in initiatives that support educating people at all steps in the journey of life where they unlock their potential and make a positive difference in our communities—playing an important role in improving life at home. To Whirlpool Corporation, a home is so much bigger than a house itself. It’s the community where we live—the place where people of all ages connect; children are mentored and coached; open space and gardens grow; and small businesses bustle. Stable neighborhoods offer the employment and quality of life amenities that are the bedrock of inclusive communities. Whirlpool Corporation is proud to work with our employees, their loved ones and our communities to help make sure everyone has a house to dream in that’s part of a resilient, flourishing and sustainable village, district or dale that they feel proud to call home. House+Home includes many programs around the world. Along with many local and regional programs, we expanded our Habitat for Humanity programming to be more global than ever before. It includes regional housing forums in three regions and global builds in 7 countries. House+Home World Tour To embed the House+Home strategy, we created the World Tour, a campaign that would include many of the House+Home programs around the world. We created a global, marquis moment-in-time to officially launch the House+Home strategy and are using the World Tour to nurture the critical connections needed to build the One Whirlpool momentum behind our shared mission of globally Improving Life through House+Home.
