Community Relations

"Enriching people's Lives". That is the global vision of Nissan and all of its operating companies across the world. Nissan strives to support this vision by not only offering our customers unparalleled products and services, but by improving the quality of life in the communities in which Nissan operates. Nissan's investments in the community include:

The Nissan Foundation. Philanthropy. Corporate Citizenry. Diversity.
Nissan founded the Nissan Foundation in 1992 as a thoughtful response to a societal need. Following the civic unrest that occurred in Los Angeles earlier that year, Nissan established the Foundation with a $5 million endowment to meet needs of communities making up South Los Angeles. The essence of its founding has remained at the heart of its mission today:

Build community through valuing cultural diversity
Over the past 20 years the Foundation has disbursed over $6.4 million to more than 100 nonprofit organizations throughout the United States.

Milestones
Celebrating 20 years of building community and valuing diversity. At its 10th anniversary, in 2002, the Foundation made changes to assure that its mission and focus areas were aligned with Nissan's core values and business goals. Originally focused in the Los Angeles community, the Foundation has expanded its geographic reach to include communities where the company operates across the country. The mission was redefined to be twofold:

• * The Nissan Foundation supports educational programs that celebrate and foster appreciation and understanding for our diverse cultural heritage.
• * The Nissan Foundation also seeks to maximize its investment in the community by enhancing career potential for young adults in the automotive industry.

In subsequent years, cultural diversity has become the Foundation's primary focus.

Company-Sponsored Initiatives
Nissan understands that keeping your children safe is your priority and making sure they are safe while traveling is one of our highest priorities. In 1998, Nissan launched its award-winning Quest for Safety™ program and in 2002 launched the industry-first Snug Kids® program. Nissan has always recognized that the safety of all of our passengers is at the core of everything we do.

Snug Kids®
Not all child restraint systems (CRS), commonly referred to as "child safety seats", fit in all vehicles. Snug Kids®, an industry-first program developed by Nissan, provides installation tips and a Child Safety Seat Fit Guide to assist parents in selecting a CRS that fits their vehicle. Since 2002, Nissan safety engineers have spent thousands of hours evaluating hundreds of CRS by installing them in the rear seats of Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to determine which child restraint systems fit.

Visit the Snug Kids® website to learn more
Download the Snug Kids® Safety Seat Fit Guide

Quest for Safety^™
Quest for Safety^™ utilizes a strategic approach to inform caregivers in communities with below-average child restraint system (CRS) usage rates about child passenger safety and the proper installation and use of CRS and booster seats.

Through the Quest for Safety^™ program, Nissan offers free child passenger safety educational seminars to community groups and national organizations. Since 2006, Nissan has conducted education seminars in Middle Tennessee focused on child passenger safety laws, and provided caregivers with a hands-on demonstration on how to properly install a CRS or booster seat.

As part of this program, Nissan distributes its Child Passenger Safety Card. This easy referral card uses illustrations to depict how to properly install a CRS or booster seat. The Card is sized to fit in the glove compartment to provide an easy and simple reference for caregivers.
