Business Practices Progress
Published: May 25, 2005 | Updated: April 21, 2006
Microsoft efforts in trustworthy business practices revolve around the concept of citizenship. As with any company, we are citizens of the communities in which we conduct business. Trustworthy business practices and products help to build trust in Microsoft within these communities.
Our company takes seriously its responsibility as a global corporate citizen. We therefore hold ourselves to extremely high standards of transparency and integrity in our business interactions. Among other things, this means we commit to:
| • | Manage expectations with honesty in communications and commitments. |
| • | Be transparent in our business practices. |
| • | Listen carefully and close the loop. |
| • | Proactively communicate changes when they occur. |
| • | Stand behind our products. |
