celebrating 20 years of commitment
In June 2005, Qualcomm honored its employees with an anniversary celebration marking two decades of technology innovation, growth and community involvement.
Community Involvement
Qualcomm’s corporate volunteerism program, Qualcomm Cares, was developed to encourage employee involvement in the community and to connect our diverse employee base to local volunteer opportunities. From walk-a-thons to holiday drives, our employees are helping people with disabilities, improving the environment, feeding and clothing the homeless, and caring for animals.
Philanthropy
Throughout its 20-year history, the Company has been committed to supporting the communities in which its employees work and live. Through these efforts, Qualcomm has consistently been recognized as a good corporate citizen for its philanthropy around the world.
In addition to supporting an employee volunteerism program, every year Qualcomm donates to community causes, with a focus on programs that promote education, health and human services, culture and the arts.
As part of Qualcomm’s anniversary event in June, the Company announced a donation of more than $1 million to four San Diego area not-for-profit organizations, including the San Diego Children’s Museum, Elementary Institute of Science, Monarch School and Voices for Children.
Disaster Relief
2005 was marked by tragic natural disasters: a tsunami, a series of hurricanes and a major earthquake. Qualcomm responded to these critical needs with technology resources and expertise, and millions of dollars in cash contributions. The Company’s corporate efforts to support disaster relief are supplemented by an active and ongoing employee Matching Grant Program.
A Commitment to Global Inclusion
At Qualcomm, we recognize that business success is driven by creativity and diversity. By valuing our differences and appreciating our similarities, we encourage the exchange of unique ideas and perspectives and build upon our individual, team and business strengths.
Our diversity creates an energy that carries our global teams forward in developing new and superior products worldwide. At the heart of the Company’s global diversity and inclusion is Qualcomm’s commitment to provide all employees, regardless of their backgrounds and perspectives on the world, the opportunity to achieve their personal and professional goals.
