For us, sustainability means leveraging our heritage of innovation in new ways as we challenge ourselves to make our products, operations, and supply chains even more environmentally friendly. It means amplifying Corning’s social impact goals through a diverse and inclusive workforce and a commitment to community engagement.

We have built our sustainability program on three pillars:

Environmental Stewardship. We are on a journey to meet or exceed corporate goals for emissions, energy and water consumption, and waste diversion.

Social Responsibility. We believe sustainability is a team sport. Our employees, future employees, suppliers, and customers all have a role to play. Together, we can magnify positive impacts in our communities around the globe.

Products and Packaging. Innovation is in our DNA. We are leveraging our innovative mindset to investigate and implement product and packaging materials and designs that will result in a greener future.

Corning is committed to serving our communities through organizing company volunteering events and supporting individual volunteering efforts. During 2021, we did not let COVID shutdowns get in our way – employees volunteered over 750 hours with more than 25 community organizations.

The Corning Foundation’s Dollars for Doers program provides cash grants to eligible US-based nonprofit organizations where Corning employees volunteer.
