Corporate Philanthropy

By 2015, DPS will:

• Contribute a total of 100,000 volunteer hours and attain an annual giving level of $10 million in charitable cash donations, with the majority of support focused on fit and active lifestyles, environmental sustainability, emergency relief and community celebrations.

With more than 200 sites throughout North America, DPS has the reach to make a positive impact on a broad range of communities. Our diverse employee base and the variety of locations that comprise DPS bring with them an equally diverse heritage of involvement and caring. From the suburban setting of our corporate headquarters to the small towns of some of our manufacturing and distribution operations, DPS employees are taking ACTION to foster physically active, engaged and sustainable communities wherever we operate.

Historically, our employees have chosen their own flavors of philanthropy, responding to local needs and partnership opportunities with customers in their communities. Since the spinoff of our company in 2008, hundreds of volunteer days, fundraisers and other philanthropic activities have mobilized employees to make a difference.

Our philanthropic efforts are concentrated under the banner of ACTION Nation, allowing us to focus on areas where we believe we can make the biggest impact both in our communities and for our company. We focus on four areas:

• Fit & Active Lifestyles
• Environmental Initiatives
• Emergency Relief
• Community Celebrations
