We are proud of our 2007 achievements in
stewardship. We believe they not only support Raytheon's strategy and values, but demonstrate that good stewardship is good for business. At the same time, we recognize that our progress to date marks only one stage on the path of continuous improvement. To build on it, we must also build for the future of the company by cultivating the next generation of leadership at every level. We do this through a multi-pronged approach that combines formal and informal training of Raytheon employees with systematic outreach to colleges and universities through research partnerships and special projects.
