CSR Press Release

Motorola Inc. (NYSE: MOT) employees around the world participate in the company's fifth annual Global Day of Service to continue Motorola's tradition of bringing people together in service. More than 6,600 Motorola employees in 37 countries will spend half the workday volunteering in the communities where they work and live. Motorola continues its commitment to environmental sustainability through this year's theme, "Green & Global," featuring environmentally themed projects and a partnership with Carbonfund.org to plant trees in honor of participating employees.

Key Facts

• Projects cover a broad range of activities including: an electronics recycling event in Shanghai, China; a woodland conservation project in Wiltshire, England; painting a youth sports court in São Paulo, Brazil; and development of a green business case study for high school students in Chicago, Ill.


• To build on the "Green & Global" theme, one tree will be planted through Carbonfund.org for every employee that volunteers. Four additional trees will be planted for employees who reuse a previous Motorola t-shirt for the Global Day of Service. Tree planting will be concentrated in areas rebuilding from recent natural disasters, such as China and Haiti.
