At ITW, corporate responsibility knows no boundaries. As our presence in
the world�s fastest growing markets increased, so did our commitment to the communities in which our employees work and live. In fact, our diverse array of charitable programs reached record-breaking contribution levels, our environmental record has steadily improved, and our employees and retirees touched thousands of lives through volunteer efforts and matching gifts.
In 2010, ITW�s growth in emerging and established markets exceeded expectations and extended the far-reaching impact of our corporate giving programs and local initiatives.
