Motorola's Global Corporate Citizenship Report Highlights Commitment To Social Responsibility
Company's Products and Technologies Make Life Better for People Around the World
(CSRwire) SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has released its
2004 Global Corporate Citizenship Report, which shares the
company's principles, policies, and progress on the environment, health,
safety and other important issues. Themed "Bridging the Digital Divide,"
the report demonstrates how Motorola is using its products to create
seamless mobility solutions to help people around the world.
"Motorola today is defined not only by our innovative, industry-leading
products and services, but also by our corporate citizenship," said Ed
Zander, CEO of Motorola. "I am confident that Motorola's commitment to
social responsibility matches our long-standing commitment to
innovation."
The Motorola 2004 Global Corporate Citizenship Report addresses
questions about corporate governance, environmental health and safety,
community relations, philanthropy, diversity and treatment of employees.
Highlights include:
Motorola and the Motorola Foundation supported thousands of
organizations around the world and donated more than $12 million in
2004.
In the early hours of the tsunami crisis last December, Motorola - a
major partner of first responders around the world - deployed equipment
and technical support to meet critical communications needs in affected
areas. As of 2005, the contribution of equipment and money from Motorola
and its employees has reached $4 million.
The Citizens Index rated Motorola a top 10 corporate citizen for
efforts to improve the environment.
Motorola received the U.S. Secretary of State's Award for Corporate
Excellence for its stewardship in Brazil.
Motorola integrated a review of its suppliers' global corporate
citizenship (GCC) practices into the Motorola supplier capability mapping
process. Before beginning a business relationship, Motorola evaluates
each potential supplier's GCC performance along with other critical
business performance measures.
Motorola helped develop a safe driving curriculum for the Network of
Employers for Traffic Safety, partnered with the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association on its driver safety campaign
and developed a novice driver program with the American Automobile
Association.
Motorola continues to support the Race to Recycle program which
enables schools to earn approximately $3 per intact phone they collect in
their communities. Getting young people involved early helps raise good
corporate citizens.
Quoting from the report, "As the world becomes more connected, corporate
actions become even more important. Committed to responsible behavior, we
evaluate our environmental and social policies and performance - and take
appropriate action. We provide information and help in times of crisis.
And we empower our employees to lead within their communities, using
Motorola's resources and knowledge to improve and inspire."
