Committed to Our Core Values
We also believe that we gain a competitive
advantage from our strong company culture–a
culture firmly rooted in our vision and values,
which emphasize trust, respect, collaboration,
innovation and accountability.
When our vision and values are put into action,
they inspire our team to impressive results and
recognition in areas such as ethics and integrity;
diversity and inclusion; health and safety; and
corporate responsibility. We were awarded the
2014 Corporate Leadership Award by Transparency
International–USA for our commitment to shape
initiatives that promote high business standards,
transparency, and anti-corruption in the U.S. and
internationally. We were named one of the 2014
Global Aon Hewitt Top Companies for Leaders
and a 2015 Best Place to Work by the Human Rights
Campaign–marking the 10th year in a row we
have achieved a 100-percent rating. We achieved
the best safety record in our history, significantly
reducing both lost workdays and recordable injuries.
We received the ENERGY STAR® Partner of the
Year - Sustained Excellence Award from the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency. We were also
recognized as one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens
by Corporate Responsibility Magazine. To continue
as a recognized leader in these areas, we know we
need to continue to build on these successes.
Ready for the Future
In summary, we had another great year at Raytheon
in 2014, and we have a solid outlook for the
future. Our strong position owes much to the
dedicated service and leadership of William H.
Swanson, who stepped down from the Raytheon
Board of Directors in September 2014, after
serving more than a decade as our chairman and
CEO. We are deeply indebted to Bill for all he
did for our company, customers and shareholders
during his 42 years with Raytheon. We would
not be the company we are today without him,
and we wish him all the best for the future.
As we look ahead, we will continue our focus on
top-line growth, investing in innovative technologies,
building on our capabilities and maximizing
shareholder value.
I want to thank the Raytheon team worldwide for
making it all possible. Like me, they are proud of
what they do every day, for our company, customers
and shareholders.
Thomas A. Kennedy
Chairman and
Chief Executive Officer
March 2015
We continue to
make investments
in game-changing
technologies that
differentiate our
solutions in the
marketplace.”
