Corporate Responsibility

Growth in sales and earnings are not the only measures of Raytheon’s success. Our qualitative achievements are also important, from breakthroughs in technology and engineering to advances in workplace safety, leadership in math and science education, companywide volunteerism and support for U.S. troops and their families. Taken together, these achievements define Raytheon as a responsible corporate citizen. And with each passing year, the links between citizenship and financial performance grow stronger.

Throughout the company, 2008 was a year of sustained accomplishment in education, service and environmental stewardship. We are proud of the recognition we have received from the organizations on the Award Highlights page. And we are especially proud of the Raytheon employees who took on the challenge of volunteerism in a difficult economic year. Between corporate philanthropy and individual initiative, we made a difference for thousands of beneficiaries, from the soldiers and military families served by Operation Homelink to the students and teachers at MathMovesU® events and NASA Future Forums across the United States.

 

As part of Raytheon’s commitment to greener and more efficient operations, next year we will transition to a Notice and Access program for our Annual Report, encouraging shareholders to access their meeting materials online. We will continue to report on the company’s programs and activities in the areas of stewardship and corporate responsibility in our Corporate Responsibility Report.
