Lexmark sells its products in over 170 countries around the globe and has facilities or offices in more than 70 of those nations. Such a broad footprint makes it imperative that our operations have a positive effect on the citizens of those communities in which we do business.

We strive to be a company that people welcome into their community; the kind of company they’d want to work for — a company that cares. Charitable giving, volunteerism, educational support and commitment to diversity are part of the culture at Lexmark. Those commitments are not only good for society, but the goodwill they generate is beneficial to Lexmark.

The need for societal contribution is ongoing and we must be continually diligent in seeking opportunities to improve in this area. In this section, we document our efforts to have a positive social impact and discuss some of our plans for future initiatives.
