It's been an exciting time for corporate citizenship at McKesson. This report details some of the efforts and accomplishments we've made along the way.
The theme of this report — our voices, our efforts, our company — emphasizes the thousands of people who embody our corporate citizenship commitment and reflects the way that we approach corporate citizenship at McKesson — through collaboration. Without the talents of our 32,000 employees, community partners and other key stakeholders, we would not be able to execute our corporate citizenship strategy.

The enthusiasm of these and other individuals, along with our commitment to McKesson's ICARE shared principles, brings our citizenship efforts to life every day. We're fortunate to be at a company that is dedicated to transforming the healthcare system. Embedded within the core mission of our business is a commitment to society — through our focused goal of helping our customers improve patients' lives.
But our commitment to communities extends beyond the nature of our business. In this report, you'll learn how the McKesson Foundation is launching a new strategy to focus on chronic disease management. Our near-term commitment is to fund innovative diabetes management projects. We believe that this will enable us to combine our cash donations with our deep institutional expertise in a way that will further our social impacts.
This report also discusses our commitment to environmental sustainability. Whether it's through our enterprise-wide environmental efforts or through the energy of our local Environmental Councils, our environmental sustainability strategy has helped us conserve natural resources and save the company money.
You can also learn in this report about our efforts to improve the employee experience at McKesson. Creating a culture of diversity and inclusion, providing employees with competitive benefits and investing in our employees' development — these are important ways that we help our employees create long and meaningful careers.
Together, these are some of the ways McKesson's overall commitment to corporate citizenship is expressed. We take a careful approach to this work, not only ensuring that we make a positive impact on our communities, but also by creating value for the company. We know that, in order to succeed in our citizenship efforts, we must first succeed as a business enterprise, so we align our corporate citizenship strategy with our overall business objectives. Our corporate citizenship work complements our company's goals by engaging our employees, strengthening our relationships with customers, reducing costs and supporting the communities where we operate.
Thank you for taking time to learn about our corporate citizenship efforts. We're proud of what we've been able to accomplish, and we're excited for the journey that lies ahead.
