For 24 years, Whirlpool Corporation has partnered with Habitat for Humanity to help improve and broaden the ways Habitat can assist more families to achieve housing stability. Since 1999, Whirlpool Corporation has helped improve the lives of nearly 1 million people in more than 45 countries through supporting house builds, engaging in U.S. advocacy efforts and donating appliances. Now, Whirlpool Corporation’s goal is to double their impact by supporting new programs like Habitat for Humanity’s BuildBetter with Whirlpool. This three-year program will expand upon Habitat’s current efforts to help homeowners mitigate the impacts of extreme weather events by supporting the building of 250 energy-efficient and resilient homes. The aim is to produce a long-term reduction in operating costs for homeowners through an expected improvement in energy efficiency of approximately 15% compared to homes built to the current local government code.

Whirlpool Corporation’s support of the Cost of Home advocacy campaign enables Habitat organizations, partners, volunteers and community members in the United States to help 10 million people have access to an affordable home. Through sponsorship of Habitat’s global housing forums, Whirlpool has helped to increase access to shelter for vulnerable populations around the world by joining housing organizations and nonprofit, for-profit, public sector, academia, philanthropic and global institutions to create innovative housing solutions. Whirlpool employees around the globe are engaging in the building of Habitat houses in the Asia-Pacific region, Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Latin American and Caribbean countries. Whirlpool is also commissioning an energy efficiency study of the refrigerators and ranges that are donated to Habitat families in the United States.
