Our mission is to deliver great value to our customers every day. For over four decades, our deep commitment to the principles of providing value and caring for others has helped define our culture. It extends beyond the walls of our stores, distribution centers, and offices, and into our local communities around the world. The intersection of these principles defines our global community mission:
Deliver great value to our communities by helping vulnerable families and children access the resources and opportunities they need to build a better future.
We are a global business with stores located on three continents and in thousands of communities around the world. Supporting these communities is important to us. There are several ways in which we organize our support:
At TJX, our core values of honesty, integrity, and treating each other with dignity and respect have lived at the heart of our business since the beginning. These values play a key role in our approach to how we support the communities in which we live and work. As a business, we do not tolerate discrimination or hate of any kind.
In support of this position, in 2020, we committed an incremental $10 million in funding, delivered over two years, to provide more direct support to Black communities and other communities of color. We were pleased to expand existing partnerships and create new ones with organizations in the U.S., Canada, Europe, and Australia. We worked directly with organizations to understand their needs and, together, determined how to direct the funding to support specific projects and programs.
The following are some of the organizations we were pleased to support through this funding:*
Through our work with these organizations, we expanded our approach to supporting the needs of the communities where we do business. We also work to identify opportunities that allow us to be responsive to current social needs and causes that align with our social impact areas and global community mission.
At TJX, we remain committed to supporting inclusion and diversity and increased access to opportunities for all voices.
