American Airlines ethics and
social responsibility is based on making a positive impact in the lives of
their customers, employees, shareholders, and in the community and environment where
we live, work and play. Their future
depends on ensuring that American Airlines continues to be “Good Place for Good
People”.
Here is what they say about how
important they are for our community and how well they have been doing by
having an outstanding corporate socially responsible image:
We recognize that we are more
than an airline. We are an economic engine that powers the movement of people,
the flow of products, and the exchange of ideas across continents and around
the world. We are a bridge between cultures and an important part of a global
community connected through citizenship and caring. We also are an integral part
of communities around the globe. As a company, through employee fundraising and
volunteerism and by partnering with our AAdvantage members, we are deeply
committed to supporting causes important to our communities, employees, and
customers. In spite of challenging economic times, we have continued supporting
our communities because community service and being a good corporate citizen
are fundamental values of our company.
