Corporate Responsibility

MESSAGE FROM OUR CO-CEOS

Innovation promotes social and environmental progress. Since our founding 80 years ago, we have been known for our inventive spirit and principled actions. Our equipment carried the first words from the moon, and we led the cellular communications revolution with the development of the world's first handheld portable cell phone.

Our inventions have enabled families to stay in touch, made businesses and governments more efficient and helped first responders to do their jobs safely and effectively. We are proud to lead a company that is at the forefront of the communications revolution.

In challenging times it is easy to take a short-term view. But as this report clearly testifies, we continue to strive to do our daily work with the utmost integrity. We believe this principled response will fortify us in our endeavor to meet the needs of our customers and consumers while riding out the market storms.

Our success also depends on maintaining a sharp focus on our vision of advancing the way the world connects. This includes bringing communications to people in developing countries who traditionally have been excluded. For example, our wireless broadband technology provides broadband Internet, avoiding the need for fixed lines. In 2008, this technology was deployed in Salinas de Guaranda, Ecuador, bringing wireless broadband to 10,000 people who previously had no access to the Internet.

By increasing connectivity in developing nations, we are helping to enhance economies and entrepreneurial opportunities, as well as boosting access to education, safety and health services. Through the Phones for Health program, field health workers in Africa use mobile phones to file patient reports and ensure adequate medicine supply, speeding the international response to disease outbreaks or medicine shortages.

We continually seek ways to connect people while using less energy and resources. Our MOTO™ W233 Renew mobile phone makes environmental responsibility affordable for consumers everywhere. It is the first mobile phone that is made of polycarbonate from recycled plastic water cooler bottles, saving 20 percent of the energy needed to make the phone. Best-in-class talk time conserves energy by reducing battery charging time. In addition, we are offsetting the carbon dioxide emissions resulting from manufacture, distribution and use of the phone through investments in renewable energy sources and reforestation.

We are fully committed to doing our part to tackle climate change and are improving energy efficiency across our full range of products and testing alternative fuels. Since 2005 we have reduced our carbon footprint by 20 percent, while we continue to work toward challenging reduction targets.

In 2008, we were humbled by the personal commitment to the environment our employees demonstrated during our "green"-themed Global Day of Service. More than 10,000 employees in 45 countries volunteered their time on hundreds of community and environmental projects. We thank our employees for their work year-round to improve communities and inspire the next generation of inventors.

As we look forward to the next 80 years, we believe that our commitment to innovation, integrity and environmental protection will help sustain us. We hope you find this summary of our corporate responsibility approach and performance useful, and we welcome any suggestions for improvement at responsibility@motorola.com.
