2011 Sustainability Report

People and Community

We launched AT&T Aspire in 2008. In 2011, we met our initial $100 million commitment to the program, laying the groundwork for an expanded $250 million commitment planned over five years, announced in 2012.

People matter — to each other, to our communities, and to our company. This has been one of our core beliefs for 136 years and always will be. Our workforce, our business and the communities that we serve are all stronger because of it.
