Supporting community development projects is another contribution we make to local development. While this work typically attracts much attention, it is considerably smaller than the financial impact of our products and operations. Our strategy is to focus support on projects that address issues directly linked to our business; that give local people control over how the project is designed and run; and, wherever possible, use the expertise of development non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and community groups. In 2007, we spent approximately $170 million on social investment activities.
