Issues in the New Economy

The world is growing increasingly focused on digital communications, and we have seen new challenges and opportunities arise related to issues like privacy and sustainability as their impact on our daily lives continues to expand.

Qualcomm envisions a world where powerful, easy-to-use, wireless devices are tailored to end-users’ individual needs and preferences. We believe that personalization of the wireless experience brings a wide array of benefits to both individuals and enterprises. Cultivating trust through a foundation of security and privacy practices helps drive broader adoption and more personalized wireless technology offerings. To that extent, our operations are informed by our privacy guiding principles.

Qualcomm is committed to being a responsible, globally oriented corporate citizen. We strive to better our local and global communities through ethical business practices, socially empowering technology applications, educational and environmental programs, employee diversity and volunteerism. Our annual Qualcomm Social Responsibility Report details our efforts in these important areas.

Through our Wireless Reach initiative, Qualcomm works together with global and local partners to bring wireless technology to underserved communities around the world. With wireless communication delivering everything from more sustainable fishing to improved transportation and remote monitoring of air quality, Wireless Reach is finding innovative ways to empower people.

As mobile technologies continue to benefit society in new and often unexpected ways, it is important that companies like ours collaborate with key stakeholders to foster sustainability throughout the supply chain. Qualcomm is an applicant member of the Electronic Industry Citizenship Coalition (EICC), a coalition of the world’s leading electronics companies working together to improve efficiency and social, ethical and environmental responsibility in the global supply chain. For more information about Qualcomm’s membership in EICC, please see our statement.
