LETTER FROM THE CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER DAN JABLONSKY CEO, MAXAR At Maxar, we bring together technologies that enable understanding, exploration and communication across our planet and beyond. Our work is inspired by our purpose "For a Better World" and guided by our values. Our team members are passionate about the work we do, and believe strongly that our Earth intelligence and space infrastructure capabilities have the power to change the world. They put that belief into action in myriad ways every day―from supporting customers and their critical missions, to doing educational outreach and volunteering in their community. Over the years, Maxar has supported organizations and individuals dedicated to addressing challenges, both local and global. For example, Maxar contributed data to investigations that led to freedom for thousands of enslaved people. We've helped with mapping efforts for vaccination outreach programs to eradicate preventable illnesses and to guide healthcare professionals to areas at risk of deadly epidemics. Our technological innovations in space robotics have been used to enhance how medical procedures on Earth are performed. We have never compiled the stories of how we work to make the world a better place. Until now, with this—our first Impact Report. This report outlines our view of corporate social responsibility and details the actions we took in 2019 to put our Purpose into action to improve the health and sustainability of our planet and the people who call it home. Many of the vignettes told in this report have been generated by our team members taking initiative to make the world a better place. As you'll learn, our efforts take place both on Earth and in space. We provide insight about what's happening on Earth that can be used to monitor changes both natural and manmade, and to inform understanding and decision- making. Maxar produces data and spacecra used to protect and defend human rights, to monitor climate change, to support humanitarian assistance and disaster response efforts, to inform natural resource management and to increase transparency about current events around the globe. We are also committed to preserving the space environment through debris and collision management and responsible manufacturing. I am proud to present this 2019 Impact Report, which highlights how Maxar's team members and our trusted customers and partners are working toward a shared goal of a Better World. Our team members are passionate about the work we do, and believe strongly that our Earth intelligence and space infrastructure capabilities have the power to change the world. ― Dan 5
