Social Responsibility

Shaw donates resources to promote design awareness, human health, diversity and corporate citizenship in our local communities. By sponsoring organizations like DIFFA and donating carpet to worthwhile causes, design is making a difference. We’re giving one percent of sales of Homage to the 1% Program, an initiative where design firms donate their expertise and service to non-profit organizations in need. We also donate to the Alzheimer’s Association through the sales of Colour of Life.

Diversity is more than race, gender, and age. At Shaw, diversity is about inclusion and respect for people. Only by including and developing talented people from different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives will we ensure our place as a world-class organization and win in the marketplace. An environment that values and respects the varied backgrounds of all people will allow us to exceed the expectations of our customers, increase our value to stakeholders and provide growth opportunities for our people.

Shaw is extremely active in the communities where its facilities are located. It financially supports many causes and events that serve to better the overall community. Shaw is proud to be a strong corporate citizen and will continue to be an active participant, as this is an important aspect of the Triple Bottom Line: equity, ecology and economy.

Shaw makes regular charitable contributions to the following organizations:

  • Nature Conservancy
  • Conasauga River Alliance
  • Georgia Aquarium
  • Keep Dalton/Whitfield Beautiful
  • Weekend of Wildlife Program
  • Georgia Department of Natural Resources
  • Tennessee Environmental Council

We are a proud corporate supporter of the United Way. Through their efforts, the United Way is able to impact a broad segment of the community through their financial support of local organizations. Shaw annually donates to United Way chapters in Northwest Georgia. Our support is led by our employees, who contribute their own time and resources through financial contributions and volunteering.

The Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS is one of the country’s largest supporters of direct care for people that are living with HIV and AIDS, as well as preventive education for those at risk. To date, DIFFA has granted over $35 million to hundreds of AIDS service organizations throughout the U.S. Shaw Contract Group was a presenting sponsor at this year’s annual gala in Chicago.
