At the same time, we want to add value to Canadians and our shared society, from nurturing the talent of our people to taking care of the planet’s resources. In 2009, our organization advanced on several fronts in continuing to build sound, sustainable practices. We believe our efforts made a clear impact. Let me give you some examples. Nadir Mohamed President and CEO First, we introduced initiatives to enhance the customer Rogers Communications Inc. experience, including an Office of the Ombudsman to provide our customers with a fair and impartial mediator, and the Rogers Customer Commitment to help our customers understand what they can expect when they choose to do business with us. Second, we improved employee engagement, with 74% responding positively in our 2009 workplace survey. That ranks as a best-in-class engagement score. We invested in our people: $1.7 billion in employee compensation, $45 million in training and development and the launch of a comprehensive wellness resource called “bwell” for employees and their families. Third, mitigating climate change and our operational footprint remained high priorities. We devoted significant time and energy to benchmarking our GHG emissions and paper consumption so that we could better understand and target areas for improvement. Our objective is simple yet crucial – to ensure responsible, efficient use of natural resources while at the same time reducing environmental impacts. Lastly, we contributed significantly to community programs through charitable giving and in-kind support.
