Efficiency and respect are two hallmarks of a responsible corporation and of RIM’s corporate culture. In 1999, RIM launched the very first BlackBerryhandheld device to enable instant, highly secure, wireless email for people on the move. The BlackBerry solution was a technological break-through that revolutionized the way people communicate and do business. From the beginning, it used network resources and power efficiently, and RIM continues to lead the industry with resource-efficient products and services today. Wirelessly efficient productsbenefit the environment and enable our customers to enjoy a better mobile experience. The BlackBerry solution uses electrical power efficiently, which means devices last longer and require less frequent charging. It also uses the scarce radio spectrum efficiently, which can translate to more economical pricing options for users, and enables wireless carriers to support a larger number of customerson their networks. At RIM, the value of respect is also paramount and it is extended to the environment, our employees, the communities in which we work, and our many business partners. In the design and manufacture of our products, RIM seeks to treat the environment with respect by lessening our impact on it. Our efforts include material selection procedures, supply chain audits, packagingassessment and reduction programs, and product sustainability programs. As a corporation, respect is formalized in our business standards and principles and in innovative HR practices and procedures. Respect for our employees has garnered recognition for RIM as an employer of choice and has enabled RIM to attract and hire the best people. Respect for our communities and a strong commitment to communityengagement has made RIM an outstanding corporate citizen. In this spirit of RIM’s historical efforts and continued commitment to improve its business practices, we are pleased to present RIM’s inaugural Corporate Responsibility Report. We look forward to building on this initial report to document and share details on our sustainability efforts.
