TEXTRON – 2018 CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT A Letter from the Chief Executive Officer

Colleagues, Shareholders and Friends,

Textron’s 35,000 global employees develop and deliver leading-edge products and services for customers around the world. We are committed to acting responsibly, safely and ethically as we conduct our business and build and maintain relationships with our customers, employees, business partners, suppliers, shareholders and our communities.

In this report, you’ll find details about our activities in 2018 to improve the communities in which we work and live, minimize our company’s environmental footprint, champion the health, safety, career development and engagement of our employees and steer our business on the right legal and ethical course.

Specifically, our key focus areas of corporate responsibility are:

  • Our Communities and Charitable Giving: Through volunteerism, philanthropic giving and the non-profit Textron Charitable Trust, we support a wide variety of charitable organizations and community interests in the places we do business, work and live.
    • The Environment: Textron’s annual goal setting process, sustainability projects and environmental health and safety framework advance our efforts to minimize our consumption of energy and natural resources and our impact on the environment.
      • Our People: Delivering leading-edge products and services to our customers starts with our people. That’s why we continuously work to make our operations safer, offer health and well-being benefit programs to our employees, create great career opportunities for our workforce and build an engaging, inclusive environment where all employees are treated with dignity and respect.
        • Ethics and Compliance: Our high ethical standards stem from our values of integrity, respect, trust and the pursuit of excellence. We are committed to conducting our business with these values in mind at all times.
           

          • Our commitment to each of these focus areas is driven by our belief that good business and good citizenship go hand in hand. Just as we continue to improve the ways in which we deliver for our customers, we will strive to enhance the lives of our employees and the quality of life in our communities.
