Symantec strives to have a positive impact in the communities
where we operate. Together with the Symantec Foundation, we
support nonprofits around the world through cash, in-kind donations,
and employee volunteerism. In order to effectively pursue our
philanthropic strategy, we identify organizations and philanthropic
focus areas aligned with our key business priorities and objectives.
Our focus areas include:
1. Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) education and
equal access to education
2. Diversity
3. Online safety
4. Environmental responsibility
Symantec seeks to promote lifelong learning and ensure inclusive
and quality education for all. Our education-focused philanthropy
exposes students to technology fields and the skills required to
succeed in related professions. Through these activities, we hope to
foster interest in STEM that will lead more students to choose careers
in technology. We also emphasize equal access to quality education.
This approach provides opportunities to those who otherwise would
not be able to pursue a quality education.
