AND THEN RACING FROM A 50% MATCH
FROM A 100% MATCH UP TO 4%.
$250 MILLION.
AND THEN, WE WILL ALSO BE
WORKING TOWARD PHILANTHROPIC
AREA.
WE HAD THE AFLAC CANCER CENTER
AT CHILDREN'S HEALTH CARE OF
ATLANTA HERE, WHICH IS THE
LARGEST PEDIATRIC CANCER CENTER
IN AMERICA AND WE DONATED
$120 MILLION TO THAT.
WE ARE NOW IN DOING WHAT I CALL
MY SPECIAL AFLAC DUCK, WHICH THE
CONSUMER ELECTRONIC SHOW, WHICH
YOU MENTIONED EARLIER GOING ON
IN LAS VEGAS, WE JUST ONE AND
AWARDED BASED ON HELPING OTHERS
CALLED TECH FOR A BETTER WORLD.
TREATMENTS AND WE PLAN ON GIVING
ALL 16,000 OF THE NEW CASES THAT
ARE DIAGNOSED EACH YEAR, WE PLAN
ON SENDING THEM TO EVERY KID IN
PETE: THAT IS WONDERFUL.
CRITICS WILL SAY THIS ADDITIONAL
HAD MAYBE ONE YEAR YOU WOULD GET
A BONUS FOR CORPORATIONS ARE
GOING TO INTERNALIZE THIS MONEY
IN WAYS NOT HELPFUL TO THE
ECONOMY.
WHY HAS THIS POLICY CHANGE OR
>> WELL, WE ARE ONE OF THE BEST
PLACES TO WORK IN AMERICA FOR
NATE YEARS IN A ROW.
I BELIEVE SO GO EMPLOYEES YOUR
EMPLOYEES ATTITUDE, SO I THINK
TAKING CARE OF THE EMPLOYEES IS
A VERY IMPORTANT PART OF BEING A
SUCCESSFUL COMPANY.
IT IS MY GOAL TO MAKE SURE
SHAREHOLDERS GET A GREAT RETURN.
BUT I THINK THERE IS A BALANCE
OF DOING IT.
CERTAINLY WE ARE NOT DOING IT
ONE YEAR BY DOING THE 401(K)
MATCH EVERY YEAR GOING FORWARD
WE PLAN ON DOING WITH KIDS WITH
CANCER AND OTHER THINGS WE ARE
DOING.
GRIFF: LET'S TALK ABOUT THIS
KIDS WITH CANCER.
HOW IMPORTANT IS THE POLICY
STAYED THERE SO THERE IS A
FUTURE FOR THIS KID.
>> WELL, WHAT THIS HAS ALLOWED
US TO DO IS ACCELERATE
EVERYTHING.
WE PLANNED ON BRINGING IN OVER A
PERIOD OF TIME BUT THIS
ACCELERATION REALLY MAKES A
DIFFERENCE.
YOU HAVE TO BE COMPETITIVE IN
TODAY'S MARKET.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T REALIZE 75% OF
EARNINGS COME FROM JAPAN AND
UNITED STATES.
WE ARE AN INTERNATIONAL COMPANY
AND WE HAVE TO COMPETE.
I DON'T WANT TO GET INTO THE
POLITICS OF IT, BUT I CAN TELL
YOU THAT WE AS A COMPANY ARE
GIVING BACK TO OUR EMPLOYEES IN
THE COMMUNITY AND WE THINK
ULTIMATELY WILL BE A BETTER
RETURN FOR SHAREHOLDERS.
PETE: GREAT POINT.
