A Message from Dan Hesse, Sprint CEO

We believe every business has a duty to conduct operations in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Corporate Responsibility (CR) is a core business principle. Our progress is reviewed regularly by our CR Executive Steering Committee, which I chair.

I am honored by the ongoing recognition Sprint receives for CR efforts like the #3 ranking on Newsweek's 2011 Green Ranking; the only telecommunications company to receive a top 25 ranking on this survey. This reflects our commitment to strengthen responsibility practices across the telecom field.

Sprint is the first U.S. telecom to announce 10-year environmental-sustainability priorities complemented by aggressive, yet achievable goals. We lead the U.S. telecom industry in our portfolio of "greener" mobile phones, in wireless re-use and recycling, and in pioneering the development of environmental criteria for wireless devices.

From Sprint Foundation philanthropic outreach to an industry-changing commitment to safer driving practices and award-winning environmental initiatives, Sprint is focused on CR as a way to enhance the company's reputation, trust and brand. That's why you'll see CR integrated into everything we do.

Some of our notable CR achievements include:

• Operations: Aggressive energy policies help improve energy efficiency and measure and reduce Scope 3 emissions. Our revolutionary Network Vision program will contribute to our carbon–reduction opportunity.
• Products and services: Leadership in this area includes a robust line of environmentally sustainable devices, responsible practices for devices at the end of their lifecycle, and a dedication to safe use of Sprint products while driving.
• Customers: Sprint continues to earn customer loyalty by meeting and exceeding customer expectations, being responsive to customers’ needs and open to feedback, positive and negative.
• People: Sprint is dedicated to providing employees a superior workplace environment emphasizing health and safety, diversity and inclusion, and legal and ethical conduct. Employees are key advocates of internal programs around energy use, green–friendly commuting, paper reduction and electronics recycling.
• Communities: Along with the Sprint Foundation, we are committed to strengthen communities where employees and customers live and work through the investment of time, money, goods and services.

We are committed to responsible, sustainable business practices. We look forward to advancing our efforts to transparently conduct business in this manner. Please check back here often for new information and announcements.

Sincerely,

Dan Hesse
CEO, Sprint
