As we begin life as an independent company, the Motorola name and history have provided us with both a running start and a legacy – of strong customer relationships, of impeccable ethics and of technological innovation – which we intend to live up to. Our intellectual property portfolio includes over 4,900 patent families, and we are making the investments necessary to sustain our intellectual leadership and develop the technologies and applications that will deliver value for our customers, and shape our industry in the years to come.
Creating value for customers and shareholders alike is at the heart of any public company’s mission. And in our view, the value a company creates is directly linked to the values that drive its interactions with all constituency groups – including employees and the communities they call home. We are an unapologetic, aggressive global competitor. But we are also a global citizen, and we take seriously our responsibilities when it comes to safeguarding the environment and the health and safety of our employees, customers, suppliers, partners and the community. Healthy, vibrant communities are the first prerequisites to healthy vibrant companies. So good global citizenship is more than an ethical imperative – it is also good business.
I want to thank you for your interest in our company. I know I speak for every member of our team when I say that in the year to come, we will be doing our very best to make the most of our many opportunities.
Sincerely,
Michel Mayer
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
