DIVERSITY Different minds. Exceptional thinking. | Kia of Abilene

Kia is a team of talented, dedicated, and diverse individuals who work together to bring out the best in each other. We recognize that the company’s most valuable asset is, in fact, its people. And not just us, but also our dealers, the communities we live in, our suppliers, and especially our customers. Our steadfast belief in diversity stems from the recognition that every culture helps enrich our company. We sell vehicles around the entire world, and Kia is focused on satisfying every customer and embracing all of the different communities that we live in. That’s why we work so hard to foster an inclusive environment—it enables us to capitalize on the strength we derive from our diversity.

SUSTAINABILITY & ENVIRONMENT Kia thinks green. And acts it, too. | KIA Of Abilene

Sustainability plays an integral role in our vision for a better future. That’s why we’ve partnered with The Ecology Center in Orange County, CA—a regional hub for practical eco education. They provide the community fun, hands-on activities that highlight empowering and cutting-edge environmental perspectives. These are eco solutions that can be applied at a community level. Each household can make a difference toward a sustainable future.

Kia has also partnered with the Pacific Marine Mammal Center in Laguna Beach, CA—a non-profit organization dedicated to saving the lives of marine mammals stranded along the California coastline. Increasing public awareness of the marine environment through education and research is another main initiative. From our employees volunteering at the facility, to sponsorship of seals, to participating in exclusive release ceremonies, Kia has a special place in its heart for these beloved animals.

In addition to our partnerships, we have significant internal sustainability efforts. We push everything from green manufacturing practices to delivering high fuel efficiency across our entire vehicle lineup. Kia is dedicated to being a leader in the area of environmental consciousness. In fact, we can be found on Interbrand’s list of the 50 Best Global Green Brands for 2013. We want to help create a healthy world with clean resources for present and future generations.
