"At Disney, each of us is responsible for upholding our excellence and our integrity. This means acting responsibly in all our professional relationships, in a manner consistent with the high standards we set for our business conduct." 1
- Bob Iger
  President and Chief Executive Officer


TWDC is proud to annouce our inclusion in the following socially responsible indices.

At The Walt Disney Company, we believe that being a good corporate citizen is not just the right thing to do; it also benefits our guests, our employees and our businesses. It makes the Company a desirable place to work, reinforces the attractiveness of our brands and products and strengthens our bonds with consumers and neighbors in communities the world over.

The Company has put in place a comprehensive, integrated approach to corporate responsibility, building on our established infrastructure for addressing crucial issues related to the environment, community, workplaces and product development. Special emphasis has been placed on how these issues affect our key audience of kids and families.

In March 2009, Disney will publish a comprehensive corporate responsibility report detailing our progress in this area for fiscal year 2008. Please check back in March to download the full report.
