simultaneously making it easier for people to conduct business with commercial
establishments and their government.
As an employer, we are continually looking for ways to reduce our real estate footprint
and energy consumption. To cite one example,
we are on track to achieve the goal of reducing
our corporate office space in Fairfield County,
Connecticut, from 2.5 million square feet in
2003 to 1.6 million square feet by 2008.
Our achievements in corporate responsibility
placed us, for the eighth consecutive year, on the list of 100 Best Corporate Citizens
compiled by Business Ethics magazine.
Concluding Thoughts
With market conditions shifting constantly and the new postal rules yet to be written, we are
excited by the opportunities such changes present. But we also recognize that to maintain
our position as the leading mailstream innovator we must cultivate an organization that is
nimble and collaborative.
We continue to invest heavily in talent and the leadership development of our diverse
workforce; we are committed to listening to our employees, customers, shareholders
and other stakeholders for ways that we can improve and to make sure we have superior
infrastructure and business processes in place. Our ethical values and sense of mission
give us an advantage over other organizations; we must continue to nurture these
strengths. During the next 12 months, we will build on what we accomplished in 2006.
We eagerly look forward to another great year.
We are determined to maintain
our position as the leading
mailstream innovator.
