Company continues commitment to innovation and environmental protection in its products and operations
SCHAUMBURG, Ill. - May 5, 2009 - Motorola, Inc. (NYSE: MOT) today announced the release of its 2008 Corporate Responsibility Report, highlighting actions the company has taken on social, accountability and environmental initiatives around the world.
"Motorola is working to help our customers and consumers be more connected and environmentally responsible," said Sanjay Jha, Motorola co-chief executive officer. "Our newly designed Mobile Device chargers, for example, use 0.10 watts or less of standby power, reducing wasted energy. Software in our newly designed mobile phones reminds users to unplug their chargers after use."
Motorola's products help connect people to one another, including access to education, safety and health services. For example, through its involvement in the Phones for Health program, Motorola helps field health workers in Africa speed response to disease outbreaks or medicine shortages by using mobile phones. The company also deployed WiMAX in Ecuador to bring wireless broadband to 10,000 people who previously had no Internet access.
"We are fully committed to doing our part to tackle climate change," said Greg Brown, Motorola president and co-CEO. "We are improving energy efficiency across our full range of products. Since 2005, we have reduced our carbon footprint by 20 percent, and we are working on using renewable energy to help power our products."
