IV. INVESTMENT IN PEOPLE
In 2005, we will continue to intensify our efforts to
build and nurture a high-performing, ethical culture.
We will further strengthen our companywide
Organization and Leadership Review process for
managing talent and building organizational capabil-
ity. We will continue to place special emphasis on
assessing the diversity of our talent across the com-
pany to ensure that we better reflect the marketplaces,
global regions, and communities in which we operate.
V. CULTURE OF ACCOUNTABILITY
At Tyco, we’re committed to doing the right thing.
We have established a set of guiding values—
integrity, teamwork, excellence, and accountability—
that are the foundation upon which we operate.
Every Tyco employee has a personal obligation to
exemplify the spirit of these values.
Our commitment extends to the health and safety
of our employees, as well as to the communities in
which we live and work. We will further expand pro-
grams to provide employees with the right training
and tools to operate our facilities in a safe and envi-
ronmentally responsible manner. We also will work
to ensure greater impact from our volunteer and
philanthropic activities through increased company-
wide integration and strategic focus.
Nothing is more important to us than Tyco’s
reputation among the stakeholders we serve, and
we are committed to the highest standards in
everything we do.
RENEWING OUR COMMITMENT
Every moment at Tyco is significant. We provide
vital products and services to the world, and we
are honored to serve this company during an
unprecedented period of opportunity and growth.
We are proud of our progress, and we are ener-
gized to do even more—for our customers, our
shareholders, and our communities.
All of us at Tyco are thankful for—and hum-
bled by—your continued support.
As I said in my letter to you last year, we are
resolved to build Tyco into a high-performing,
well-managed, transparent, and thoroughly decent
company. We are focused and committed to the
task at hand, and we are absolutely convinced that
Tyco’s best days are very much ahead of us.
EDWARD D. BREEN
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
