Our values are the foundation of who we are—and how we lead. They guide every decision we make, from hiring and training to strategy and service. LKQ Proud is more than a phrase; it’s a mindset rooted in pride—pride in our people, our customers, and the communities we serve. It shapes our culture and drives everything we do.
In 2020, LKQ established the LKQ Community Foundation. LKQ Corporation’s mission includes building strong partnerships with our employees and the communities in which we operate. LKQ values the strong, enduring relationships we have cultivated with local charities, and we are especially proud of the philanthropic efforts of our employees. The LKQ Community Foundation provides us with an ongoing opportunity to support the various organizations that are striving to improve the communities where we live and work. Our areas of focus include:
The LKQ Community Foundation will match an LKQ employee’s personal donations (up to $500 U.S. based currency equivalent per calendar year) to charitable organizations, provided they are permissible grantees for the Foundation and our matching gifts provider.
In 2018, LKQ created the LKQ Corporation Employee Assistance Fund. The Fund is designed to provide short-term, emergency support to LKQ Corporation’s employees within North America who are facing serious financial hardship because of certain unforeseen and unpreventable circumstances and who cannot afford housing, utilities, or other basic living expenses.
LKQ is proud to support the next generation through the Joseph M. Holsten Scholarship Program, which now holds $1.25 million in total funding. Each year, eligible children of LKQ employees can apply for a $2,500 scholarship to support their post-high school education at an accredited college, university, technical, community, or vocational school. Awards are renewable annually, with recipients eligible for up to $10,000 total. Previous recipients must reapply each year. We encourage all qualifying families to take part in this meaningful opportunity.
We challenge the status quo and we are champions of positive change.
We believe in being adaptable and open to new ideas.
We are constantly seeking out new ways to improve and to evolve.
We are solutions focused, and we do more with less, and are resilient in this pursuit of serving our customers.
We believe in using our resources wisely, efficiently, and finding creative solutions to challenges.
