Giving

At ServiceMaster, giving back to the communities we serve is more than just a responsibility and a commitment — it's a privilege. In addition to financial resources, ServiceMaster employees routinely give their time and energy to community services and projects through volunteer programs. The strong, caring culture at ServiceMaster fosters such volunteer efforts.

The primary focus areas "We Serve" include:

People

  • By supporting organizations that improve quality of life for residents in the communities we serve.
  • By creating a safe workplace in which creativity, diversity and respect for others are valued.
  • By delivering the highest quality service and results to our customers with responsible products and practices — doing the right thing.

Our Planet

  • By setting standards in our industries with the responsible use of resources, innovative and environmentally responsible products and services.
  • By forming partnerships with organizations which share our values.

The Future

  • By supporting educational programs in our local communities and on a national level which will ensure sustainability and continued improvement of the communities we serve in the coming generations.

Our commitment to community starts at the top of the organizational chart and extends to every employee in the company. We believe that the result of our service will be seen in the changed lives of others.

All volunteer efforts and community service activities are advocated and encouraged by ServiceMaster leadership, whether through official company-sponsored volunteer programs or informal grass-roots efforts. At ServiceMaster, we realize that our people want to make a difference on the job and off the job, too. Contributions are made through a corporate program, a foundation and through an employee giving program.
