JCPenney’s Commitment to
Social Responsibility
Built on the legacy of founder James Cash Penney, who believed in doing what is “right and just,” JCPenney is committed to being a good corporate citizen through the support of environmental, social and ethical initiatives.
To bring sharper focus to our corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, we have identified five areas of emphasis under the banner of "JCPenney CARES:" Community, Associates, Responsible Sourcing, the Environment and Sustainable Products. Our vision for CSR is: JCPenney CARES for our Associates, customers, communities and the environment in everything we do.
JCPenney is a retail pioneer in its support of initiatives that reduce environmental impact by saving energy and recycling. Recently, our Company received the Environmental Protection Agency's ENERGY STAR Sustained Excellence Award for our ongoing efforts in Energy Management.
We also have been recognized as one of the Top 50 Organizations for multicultural business opportunities by DiversityBusiness.com and as one of the Top 25 Noteworthy Companies by Diversity Inc. for our inclusion and diversity efforts.
Central to our corporate social responsibility efforts is our focus on Associate involvement. From our logistics center Green Teams to our active Inclusion and Diversity t=Teams to our many Associate volunteers, our 150,000 Associates are key to our program.
