KIA Motors America (KMA) believes that with pioneering spirit, passion and hard work, anything can be achieved and contribute to a better future for all. One of the company’s core values is “Globality,” which teaches one to strive to become a respected global corporate citizen and enhance the quality of life for people around the world.
KIA and its employees have supported a number of organizations nationally, as well as in Orange County, home to its corporate headquarters in Irvine. KIA’s Volunteer Impact Program (VIP) was launched in 2013, and it provides KIA team members with paid time off to volunteer with KIA’s charity partners in Orange County, as well as other locations in the U.S., where KIA has regional offices.
Projects include working in a food pantry, preparing interim homes for homeless families, beach clean-up, food and holiday gift drives, a literacy project for elementary school children, and helping to maintain the gardens and displays at a local organization that educates the community on sustainability.
“KIA Motors America is dedicated to giving back to our Orange County community through charitable donations and volunteerism. We are honored that KMA has been named Outstanding Mid-Size Business on National Philanthropy Day in Orange County.” Rhonda M. Bolton, Head of Corporate Diversity Initiatives, KMA
