Geneva, August 28, 2006 – STMicroelectronics (NYSE: STM),
one of the world’s leading semiconductor manufacturers, has announced
the publication of the Company’s 2005 Corporate Responsibility
Report, which is available for download at
www.st.com/cr. The report, which covers all of ST’s activities
and sites in 2005, contains detailed indicators of the Company’s
performance across the full range of Social, Environmental, Health &
Safety, and Corporate Governance issues and reaffirms ST’s long-established
commitment to serving its stakeholders with integrity, transparency
and excellence.
Designed to meet the needs of ST’s key stakeholders, the report
describes the main initiatives that the company launched in 2005 to
further strengthen its competitiveness and industry leadership and
demonstrates how these have been implemented without sacrificing the
Company’s enduring commitment to its stakeholders. It also shows
how ST brings its Principles for Sustainable Excellence to life in
its daily activities, how it integrates a culture of responsibility
and accountability in its decision-making processes, and how this
leads to performance improvements such as reducing energy consumption
and CO2 emissions of both operations and products.
The term ‘Sustainable Excellence’ reflects ST’s
belief in its ability to respond to stakeholders’ expectations
in the short and long term to make our company ‘sustainable’
– successful now and in the future – and enable it to
contribute to sustainable development at a global level.
STMicroelectronics was one of the first global industrial companies
to recognise the importance of environmental responsibility and has
won many awards for its pioneering work in this field. Since the company
published its first ‘Environmental Decalogue’ in 1994,
it has continually widened the scope of its definition of corporate
responsibility and increasingly formalised both the deployment of
its principles within the company and the reporting of the results
to stakeholders to ensure that it remains at the forefront of Corporate
Responsibility.
