Energy Efficiency- Incorporate highest standards of energy efficient equipment and

measures in our facilities worldwide.

-Highly efficient lighting , HVAC and

Cogeneration systems

-To date, Qualcomm’s energy efficiency

investments in nearly five million square

feet of building space in California alone

have saved more than 22.5 million kilowatt

hours of electricity annually, valued at over

$2.92 million savings each year.

-Partner with Utility Companies & CaCSE

to earn energy incentives

- Equivalent to avoiding 7,390 metric tons

of greenhouse gas emissions or

eliminating the annual emissions of 1,343

cars.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions - CCAR

- Growth in overall California emissions mimics the company‟s growth

in Building Square Footage since reporting began in 2002.

Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory

• Voluntary Report to the California Climate Action Registry

since 2002. Joined The Climate Registry 2010.

- Measure, report and reduce our annual emissions

High Value in Reporting

Emissions:

• Contributes to the transparency of our business

operations

• Favorably recognized - external analysts and

researchers who evaluate our company‟s “corporate

responsibility” initiatives (i.e. CDP, Goldman Sachs)

• Criteria on leading sustainability indices: ability to

track, report and verify emissions

• Critical Investor Value: Maplecroft-Bloomberg newly

released “Climate Innovation Indexes” - “Climate-

related innovation and carbon management are two

leading indicators of financial performance” (QCOM

designated “Leader” and ranked 29 out of 318 of

largest U.S. companies)

Water Conservation - Recent Activities

- Replaced sprinklers with low flow heads

- Reprogrammed clocks to water less and less frequently

- Converted Building AA Cooling Tower to Reclaimed Water

in May 2009 (saves 2.6 million gallons of potable water/yr)

- In process of converting Building P Cooling Tower to

Reclaimed (will save 29.8 million gallons of potable water/yr)

- Converting landscape to dryscape utilizing mulch, rocks,

bark

- Installing toilets with default sensory flush based on time in

front of sensor

- Hand sanitizers help reduce water usage

- W Campus pre-plumbed for reclaimed water since 2006;

City working on extension plans

- Continue to focus on conserving water , compliance with City

Level 2 Drought Alert Condition, maximize use of reclaimed

water wherever possible

The phenomenon that makes a butterfly's wings shimmer is the same principle

applied in Qualcomm's mirasol displays - reflects light so that specific

wavelengths interfere with each other to create color .
