We Build Community

Giving back is a fundamental value of Home Depot and a passion for associates. Through an extensive community relations program, we reach out to the communities where our associates live and work with philanthropic and volunteer support. Our programs bring together volunteerism, do-it-yourself expertise, product donations and monetary grants to meet critical needs and build affordable communities.

Community efforts focus on four key areas: building and refurbishing playgrounds; ensuring the safety and accessibility of community gathering spaces, building and refurbishing affordable and transitional housing; preparing communities for emergencies.

Volunteerism is embraced collectively and individually. Whether it's building a playground for children, repairing homes for the elderly, helping inner-city teens learn job skills, educating customers about energy usage or shoring up an over-flowing river, making a difference helps Home Depot remain true to its progressive corporate culture.

Living Our Values

We continually strive for excellence in both our business and our community by upholding eight core values:

Taking Care of Our People

The key to our success is creating an environment where all associates feel that they are respected, their contributions valued, and they have equal access to growth and development opportunities. By surrounding our associates in this environment, their personal and professional growth are inevitable!

Excellent Customer Service

Along with our quality products, service, price and selection, we must go the extra mile to give customers knowledgeable advice about merchandise and to help them use those products to their maximum benefit.

Respect for All People

In order to remain successful, our associates must work in an environment of mutual respect, free of discrimination and harassment. Everyone has value, regardless of gender, ethnic or education background.

Building Strong Relationships

Strong relationships are built on trust, honesty and integrity. We should listen and respond to the needs of customers, associates, communities and vendors, treating them as partners.

Doing the Right Thing

We exercise good judgement by "doing the right thing" instead of just "doing things right." We strive to understand the impact of our decisions, and we accept responsibility for our actions.

Giving Back to the Community

An important part of the fabric of The Home Depot is giving part of our time, talent, energy and treasure to needs in our community and society.

Entrepreneurial Spirit

Home Depot associates are encouraged to initiate creative and innovative ways of serving our customers and improving the business, as well as to adopt good ideas from others.

Create Shareholder Value

The investors who provide the capital necessary to allow our company to exist need and expect a return on their investment.

The "orange-blooded" culture of The Home Depot encourages inclusion, passion, and respect not only within the company but extending to all parts of our lives. As a responsible corporate citizen, The Home Depot makes financial and service contributions to society through community involvement with three major focuses:
  1. Affordable housing
  2. At-risk youth
  3. The environment
Our nearly 300,000 associates share the same values that helped build one of the nation's strongest corporate cultures. Team Depot, an organized volunteer force, was developed in 1992 to allow our associates to contribute to the communities in which they live and work. To date, Team Depot has contributed over 6 million hours of service.
