Global Philanthropic Initiatives

Since our founding, we have worked to be an engaged corporate citizen that makes a real difference in the communities where we live and work. Our company began with a single neighborhood office and a simple commitment to serve our customers, employees and communities. As our business continues to grow, we work to extend that same spirit of care and respect to thousands of communities around the world.

Major ongoing philanthropic initiatives – totaling more than $180 million in commitments – include:

• Enterprise “50 Million Tree Pledge” ($50 million/50 years) – Planting 1 million trees a year to help restore public lands badly in need of reforestation.
• Enterprise “Fill Your Tank” Program ($60 million/six years) – Addressing food insecurity around the globe.
• American Red Cross Annual Disaster Giving Program ($3 million/three years) – Supporting preparedness and disaster relief efforts.
