Deringer believes we must go beyond generating profits to meet the needs of the company. As a corporation, we must fulfill a greater purpose. That purpose is centered on humankind. Specifically:

• To help others who are in need, who cannot otherwise help themselves, typically through contributions to charitable, religious, or community organizations
• To help promote high moral values in individuals, particularly in children and the communities in which Deringer is located
• To support our employees as they fulfill their own greater purposes toward helping humanity
