Social Mission |
|
In 1991 we carefully reviewed our company's values and established missions for the organization. Our social mission is: "We will be active members of our communities, promote social responsibility, and encourage environmental awareness." The MathWorks people actively participate in realizing the social mission. Here's what we do: |
||
| • | Corporate giving. Every year we make donations to various organizations throughout the world. Most of the donations go to local organizations that will support our business values of promoting math and science education and supporting the volunteer efforts of the MathWorks people. | |
| • | Yearly activities. The activities are designed to encourage MathWorks people to get involved in their communities. Examples of these activities are: serving dinner at the Pine Street Inn, participating in City Year, nature walks at our local Audubon Sanctuary, recreation trips with local student groups, training sessions for math teachers and students on "real world" applications of mathematics, sponsoring the town education fund raising events in our building, and our scholarship auction. | |

| • | Recycling. The company uses recycled materials for our documentation and packaging as well as encouraging employees to recycle paper throughout the building. | |
| • | A-thon matching. The MathWorks matches the pledges of employees for recognized walk-a-thons, dance-a-thons, bike-a-thons, etc. | |
 The
MathWorks continues its ongoing support for the Dana Farber Cancer
Institute by sponsoring the Dana Farber Marathon Challenge. |
||
| • | Disaster Relief. As the need arises, we make special donations to relief organizations. In the past we have given donations to help people experiencing famine, earthquakes, and flooding. | |
| • | Scholarships. Every year we fund scholarships for college bound students from four local high schools. This year we also sponsored a scholarship for the Massachusetts State Science Fair. | |
 Let
the bidding wars begin! The MathWorks annual auction in March '97
raised over $15,000 for the Steppingstone Foundation. |
||
| • | Cause-related marketing. We like to support charities that not only provide aid but also contribute to our business goals. It is our belief that this is a win/win situation since these donations hinge on our business success. |
