Public Affairs Worldwide
John Deere has a long history of community and government involvement. Since founder John Deere served as mayor of Moline, Illinois, in the 1870s, the company has been engaged in the advancement of sound public policy. This work remains an important business strategy today.
John Deere recognizes that sound public policy helps the company achieve its business objectives and highly values company and employee involvement in the political process. Public Affairs Worldwide promotes good citizenship by encouraging employee participation in voting. In addition, John Deere offers employee involvement programs, including the John Deere Political Action Committee (JDPAC), the company's voluntary employee political contributions program in the United States, and the John Deere Government Action Information Network (JDGAIN), a company program through which employees are asked to voluntarily contact their elected officials about pending
legislation of interest to the company.
Just as John Deere employees apply the company's values to their work in business and in their communities, our Public Affairs Worldwide organization advocates for sustainable and fair government policies and practices throughout the world. John Deere recognizes that its businesses operate in a diverse, ever-changing world. Public Affairs Worldwide works to keep the employees of John Deere informed and engaged with that changing world. By doing so, a working environment of learning continually fosters educated thought leadership.
Public Affairs Worldwide collaborates with an international network of public affairs professionals to monitor economic,
political, and social policies and trends throughout the world that affect customers, employees, and the company.
