ENERGY STAR® Partner: Since 1999, Raytheon has been an ENERGY STAR Partner, committed to improving energy conservation performance under this joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy.

Climate Leaders Program: In 2002, Raytheon joined EPA’s Climate Leaders program as one of its charter member companies. Climate Leaders is a voluntary industry/government initiative that requires participating companies to develop comprehensive, long-term GHG reduction strategies.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction Goal: Raytheon set an aggressive goal to reduce GHG emissions by 33 percent from 2002 to 2009, normalized by revenue. By the end of 2006, we achieved a 24 percent reduction toward this goal. Since 2002, we have eliminated cumulatively 155,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent GHG emissions.

Electricity Reduction Goal: Recognizing the growing need to conserve energy, we set a related challenge of reducing electricity consumption by 15 percent from 2005 to 2007, adjusted for business growth. By the end of 2006, we achieved an 8 percent reduction toward this goal, saving $9 million in costs, and 80 million kilowatt hours of electricity — enough energy to provide power to 8,000 homes for a year.

Energy Champions: Our energy conservation results are driven by the leadership of our Enterprise Energy team and more than 900 Energy Champion volunteers. Energy Champions have the passion and drive to conserve energy through their own initiatives and by influencing peers in the workplace to do the same.

Green Buildings: The Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Green Building Rating System™ is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction and operation of highperformance green buildings. We expect our newly designed and constructed Huntsville, Ala., building to be certified as a new LEED building. In 2004, one of our Marlborough, Mass., buildings was certified as a new LEED-green building.

Renewable Energy: We are studying the feasibility of wind turbines for our Portsmouth, R.I. location. We also have plans to construct a pilot photovoltaic (solar electricity) system on the roof of our building in Andover, Mass. These two examples of sustainable, renewable energy demonstrate our broad commitment to further reduce GHG emissions and our dependency on electricity generated at power plants.
