SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES Our communities, customers, suppliers, employees and businesses are all  connected. TE is committed to being a responsible steward of the environment  and helping our communities become stronger. We support our communities through our global  giving program and employee volunteerism. It  is our desire to achieve a positive impact in the  communities where TE does business.  In 2013, TE responded to major disasters  around the globe, including Hurricane Sandy  in the United States and the earthquake in  China’s Sichuan province. TE employees in  India gave to Oxfam India to help the estimated  100,000 people affected by the floods in the  Uttarakhand region. And in the Czech Republic,  employees helped their neighbors rebuild after  the devastating floods by donating pumps,  generators and other much-needed goods.
