As our corporate responsibility program continues to evolve, we have been fortunate to be recognized for our efforts along the way. Over the course of fiscal 2009, we received numerous awards and appeared on several "best of" lists, including Corporate Responsibility Officer's (CRO) list of the Best Corporate Citizens and Ethisphere's list of the World's Most Ethical Companies.

While we appreciate being recognized for our efforts to advocate for consumers, engage employees, support communities, drive sustainability and strive for an ethical supply chain we are keenly aware of the opportunities to do better.

Internally, we will continue to rely on employees around the world to understand the needs of local stakeholders and identify solutions to the social and environmental challenges they face. We will also continue to seek ways to live up to our corporate responsibility aspirations by further refining our programs and developing new methods to be:

  • A global champion for human ingenuity and opportunity;
  • An advocate for consumers in a world of technology; and
  • Financially, environmentally and socially accountable for our brands and business operations worldwide.
