Motorola's Corporate Citizenship Report Highlights Community, Accountability and Sustainability Efforts

Motorola and the Motorola Foundation donated more than $12 million in cash and equipment in 2005 to support disaster relief, charitable organizations and math, science and technology education.

(CSRwire) SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) has released its 2005 Corporate Citizenship Report, which shares the company's principles, policies and progress on community, accountability and sustainability efforts.

"In 2005, Motorola continued its commitment to being a first-rate corporate citizen," said Ed Zander, chairman and CEO of Motorola. "Our seamless mobility products are going beyond helping consumers and businesses to unleash amazing potential for other aspects of society - creating possibilities for our stakeholders, the environment and the communities we share."

The 2005 Corporate Citizenship Report addresses questions about how Motorola supports social change through our products, philanthropy, community support and disaster relief, as well as how the company takes action to do the right thing with its supply chain management, corporate governance, diversity, treatment of employees and environmental health and safety.
