Continuously improving our reporting on social responsibility

In 2010, we commissioned an independent firm, ISOS Group LLC (ISOS), to perform an external assurance of our 2009 social responsibility report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative. Initial reviews revealed a gap in our reporting on stakeholder engagement. In response, we worked with ISOS to develop and disseminate a 15-question survey aimed at gauging global stakeholder perceptions of Qualcomm’s reporting efforts and actions.

Survey responses revealed that employees are our largest stakeholder group at 45.2 percent, followed by nonprofit organizations at 40.5 percent. The survey also showed that all responding stakeholders contributed to the reporting process, and that the number of people reading our annual social responsibility report had increased over the prior year.

For the most part, respondents rated our social responsibility reporting as “excellent.” Only one described our efforts as “fair.” According to the survey responses, the strongest sections of the report were Corporate Giving, Governance and Ethics, Product Responsibility and Energy Efficiency.

We expect that multiple stakeholders, ranging from the general public to current and future Qualcomm employees, investors, customers and suppliers, will use our 2010 QSR Report. That’s why we have carefully considered what information to include and disclose, taking into account what issues and topics are most relevant to our business operations and of most interest to our stakeholders.
