ArvinMeritor’s policy is to assume the duties and responsibilities of a good corporate citizen worldwide. A portion of these duties and responsibilities will be discharged by an annual investment of part of the corporation’s earnings in philanthropic activities.

ArvinMeritor’s philanthropic programs focus on education and the communities where our employees live and work.

With regard to education, we will support engineering and technical schools worldwide in order to increase the number of engineers and scientists available for recruitment into the field of automotive engineering, and to stimulate technological development and innovation in this field.

In our corporate communities, we seek to utilize our human and financial resources in partnership with local, private and public agencies in order to achieve measurable improvements in the quality of life. We do this through a focus on education, cultural programs, civic responsibility, and health and human services.

We also give consideration to organizations whose programs and policies foster an environment supportive of business activity and competitive opportunities for ArvinMeritor.
