Protecting wildlife and ecosystems continues to be a global focus for the Disney Wildlife Conservation Fund. Last year, the Fund provided $1.5 million in support of more than 100 different projects, bringing the total amount committed by the Fund in support of wildlife and habitat studies to $11 million.
The promotion and maintenance of responsible labor standards also continued to be a Company priority. Disney’s code of conduct for manufacturers, translated into 50 languages, outlines minimum working conditions and standards in factories making Disney-branded products. The code is reinforced through educational and monitoring programs and through the development of remediation plans when conditions do not meet standards.
These efforts represent only a brief summary of how The Walt Disney Company serves the interests of its many stakeholders. Disney is guided by the philosophy that being a good corporate citizen is not just the right thing to do, it is good for business. It makes the Company a desirable place to work, reinforcing the attractiveness of its brands and products while strengthening its bonds with consumers and its neighbors in communities around the world.
