Supporting high labor and environmental standards in our supply chain strengthens both Motorola Solutions and the suppliers we work with. These efforts are essential to maintaining the quality of our products and the success of our business.
Suppliers conducting product assembly and manufacturing on our behalf are central to our business success and we work continually with these companies to improve conditions. We apply the same levels of innovation to managing these relationships as we do to devising our cutting edge products.
Collaboration with our industry peers is central to our approach. Our participation in the Global e-Sustainability Initiative (GeSI) industry organization, and our co-leadership of its supply chain working group, has helped us advance our supply chain management, while simultaneously building the capabilities of our suppliers to better their environmental and social performance. Together with our industry peers, we are working hard to improve the traceability of metals contained in our products and to raise standards in the mining sector.
These efforts benefit all parties. We benefit from the high performance of efficient, responsible suppliers. And they provide a much-needed boost to local economies by providing communities with jobs and opportunities to provide services to profitable, sustainable businesses.
