Visteon supports the belief that a cohesive society is an essential foundation for business success, and that companies thrive with healthier, better-educated and more productive people. We believe that making corporate contributions is the best way to show employees and neighbors that we care about them, their families and their future. Visteon's contributions are concentrated in two focus areas, youth and the environment.

Visteon has funded programs around the world that improve the lives of children by providing food, shelter, healthcare, and mentoring activities. Funding has also been provided for environmental programs that preserve and protect the environment, including the establishment of parks and protection of wildlife.
Examples of Community Projects – 2010  
North America: Red Cross Blood Drives – U.S.
Visteon held five blood drives during 2010 at its North America Corporate Offices and Innovation Center in Van Buren Township, Mich. Through the generous donation by employees, this initiative yielded more than 300 pints of blood and helped more than 1,000 people served by the American Red Cross.
 

Asia: Shanghai Charity Foundation – China
In collaboration with Shanghai Charity Foundation, Visteon employees in Asia participated in the Giving Tree donation program organized by the Community Center Shanghai. This initiative aims to assist thousands of underprivileged children living in the Shanghai metropolitan area by providing gift bags of new clothes, toys and school supplies. Employees prepared 30 bags tailored for each student. Visteon representatives attended the distribution ceremony at Huahong Schooland distributed gift bags to children.

 

Europe: Earth Day – France
More than 200 employees and their families supported "Earth Day" by collecting waste and rubbish that surrounded a large area around the Charleville plant in France. Various businesses helped by sponsoring equipment for the safe handling of rubbish, and provided t-shirts and snacks.

Organized by team leaders, the Charleville volunteers treated the clean-up as a treasure hunt and gathered a huge amount of rubbish. The productive day concluded with a picnic, music and celebration by the Visteon team for their successful contribution to the local community.
 
Europe: William De Ferrers School – UK
Employees from Visteon Engineering Services (VES) in the UK spent a day helping to regenerate the site of a local educational center. The William De Ferrers School is a vocational education site and children's center that relies on funding for site development. Because the center's funding did not cover the cost to complete regenerating the outside space around the center, Visteon employees spent a day gardening, painting and tidying the site prior to its opening in August.
 
Asia: Bhatkya Vaimukta Jati Shikshan Sanstha Orphanage – India
The employee resource group (ERG) at Visteon Engineering Center India (VECI) recently organized a day full of activities with 350 children from the Bhatkya Vaimukta Jati Shikshan Sanstha orphanage. Partnering with Sahyadri Hospitals, the children received free health check-ups, and health and hygiene education. To support the event, Visteon and its employees contributed funds that provided 1.6 tons of food grain and daily goods for the children.
