At GE, we challenge our spirit of innovation and dedication to integrity to produce benefits that extend beyond building our business and our bottom line. We must also address the difficult challenges that affect the many communities and people who are touched by our business.
GE has built and maintained our strong culture of integrity and compliance by remaining dedicated to our governance policies. Our ombudsperson process and integrity statement, The Spirit & The Letter , are two of the ways we keep open channels of communication and make clear our policies and expectations of employees.
Good citizenship is integral to our success. Shifts in demographics, growth in emerging markets, the reality of climate change. GE recognises that when the world changes, we must change along with it – taking opportunities to grow, while committing to be a good company.
Our commitment is expressed in a wide range of initiatives, from customer and supplier relationships to public policy and shareowner objectives. Explore our most recent Citizenship report to learn the many ways that GE seeks to make life better.

GE Volunteers
GE Volunteers in the Benelux
GE businesses and their employees connect with thousands of local community projects each year. Employees contribute to the community either as GE Elfun Volunteers or through charitable support for local and national campaigns in the form of donations, collections or individual sponsorship.
GE Volunteers is a global organisation of 53,000 employees and retirees committed to improving communities through volunteerism. About 31 chapters and some 3,400 people are active in Europe and carry out volunteer projects that aim to make a sustainable difference in their local communities. The Benelux chapters of GE Elfun currently have over 240 members dedicating almost 5,000 hours to community projects throughout the year. More information on our projects can be found here
GE approaches Citizenship with the same discipline, strategy and accountabilities that drive any part of our business. As we expand in developed and emerging markets, we will be continually challenged to invest in a sustainable way that leverages our financial, technical and intellectual resources to the benefit of our investors, customers, employees and communities.
