I believe business leaders affect the lives and livelihoods of many people: employees, customers, shareholders, suppliers and community members. It is up to values-driven leaders to protect and improve our way of life.
At Sprint, our focus is on doing the right thing. It is a fundamental part of who we are and can be seen across numerous actions we take as a company. For example, we have set aggressive goals to minimize our company's environmental impact. We are committed to protecting our customers' privacy and providing multiple security and safety solutions. We strive to make our products and services accessible for all. We have set a high standard for corporate governance and ethical responsibility while creating a culture of inclusion. And, our recently launched Sprint Good Works initiative helps us support communities across the country through employee giving, employee volunteerism, philanthropic contributions and educational outreach on distracted driving and Internet safety.
Our progress in each of these areas is reviewed regularly by Sprint's Corporate Responsibility Executive Steering Committee, which I chair. Between Sprint, Sprint employees and the Sprint Foundation, we have made great progress.
Newsweek named us No. 3 among America's Greenest Companies, the only telecommunications company to receive a top 25 ranking on this survey. We lead the U.S. telecom industry in our portfolio of eco-friendly devices and in wireless re-use and recycling. We were the first U.S. carrier to deploy Code Factory's Wireless Accessibility application to make Android devices fully accessible for the visually impaired. We serve as the nation's largest Telecommunications Relay Service (TRS) provider to assist customers who are Deaf. We are named as a top place to work for military veterans and diverse managers.
Being recognized as a leader in Corporate Responsibility and doing the right thing is foundational to Sprint's success and enhances our reputation, trust and brand. Please continue to check back often for new initiatives and developments as we work to protect and improve our way of life.
Sincerely,
Dan Hesse
CEO, Sprint
