UST Inc. has a long tradition of investing its resources in local communities where the company has a presence, and has identified such social responsibility as one of its Core Values. We are committed to funding programs, projects, and non-profit organizations that are strategically aligned with our core businesses and that address the needs of our employees and adult consumers.
Through our Corporate Contributions Program and the volunteer efforts of our employees, UST is dedicated to making a difference in those communities in which our employees, customers and adult consumers live and work. To this end, our Corporate Contributions Program focuses its charitable giving in three principal areas: education, community enrichment and preserving American traditions.
UST actively embraces its commitment to be a responsible corporate citizen. We do this through our people, our products, our financial donations and initiatives such as U.S. Smokeless Tobacco Company's Polaris Ranger® Donation Program, which is our signature program. We are proud of our record of community service and are committed to being a neighbor of choice.
