Corporate Responsibility

Message From the CEO

John W. Thompson, CEO Symantec CorporationAt Symantec, we devote ourselves to ensuring the integrity and free flow of information that our customers rely on every day. Our dedication to integrity speaks not only to our products and services but to every decision that we make. That commitment is reflected in our constant efforts to deliver innovative products and services that enable individuals and businesses to have confidence in today’s connected world. It is evident in the way we work to serve our customers; to recruit, develop, and retain the best talent; to minimize our environmental impacts; and to partner with the communities in which we work and live.

On March 3, 2006, we signed the United Nations Global Compact; we proudly support its ten principles to promote human rights and environmental responsibility and to fight corruption.

We recognize that responsible operation involves constant vigilance and evaluation, and we embrace the challenges that lie ahead. We know that all of our stakeholders play an important role in our evolution as a responsible enterprise, and we invite you to comment on our performance and our progress by e-mailing us at cr@symantec.com.
