sponsorships and employee volunteerism.
We work with the Business–Higher Education
Forum, where I am honored to co-chair an
initiative on Securing America’s Leadership in
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM). And we continue to support both the
Raytheon Scholars program, which provides
scholarship grants to the children of employees,
and our Matching Gifts for Education program.
Energy Conservation At Raytheon, we also believe we
have a responsibility to conserve natural resources
and protect the environment for future generations.
Our ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year selection
by the EPA in 2007 was the second such designation
in fi ve years for outstanding energy management
practices. Since 2002, the company has reduced
its greenhouse gas emissions by approximately
28 percent adjusted for sales and infl ation, an
achievement that includes a signifi cant reduction in
energy consumption. In 2007, we curbed electricity
consumption by approximately 10 percent adjusted
for business growth, enough electricity to power
some 10,000 homes for a year.
Customer Success Is Our Mission Our team knows that
the work we do is important. People depend on us
to meet the needs of our servicemen and women, to
help provide for homeland security, to support safe
and effi cient air-traffi c management, and to provide
other key solutions.
When our servicemen and women see the Raytheon
name, we want them to have “no doubt” about our
systems and services doing what they are supposed
to do. This is something we feel deeply. We identify
strongly with our men and women in uniform—
many Raytheon employees are veterans themselves;
some are on active duty now—and we are very
grateful for their service.
The Raytheon brand is important to all of our
stakeholders. We want our company “to be the most
admired defense and aerospace systems supplier
through world-class people and technology.” That
is our vision. The 72,000 people of Raytheon pledge
to you that we will pursue this vision, guided by
our values, so that we may continue to earn your
confi dence in us.
