Why we get involved

Decisions are made by governments throughout the world that have a dramatic affect on our business, on us as individuals and on our communities. We feel it’s important to tell our story and share the challenges we face as a global corporation in a manner consistent with local culture and forms of government, but always aligned with Our Values in Action.  

At Caterpillar, we want to make a positive difference around the world. We invite you to join us. The world is a big place, and there are big issues to face.
