FAIRFIELD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GE today released its sixth annual Citizenship Report, entitled Renewing Responsibilities. The report covers GE's worldwide operations for the 2009 fiscal year and is structured around the discussion of three pillars of GE’s strategy - energy and climate change, sustainable healthcare, and community building. The report also includes an in-depth discussion on the relationship between business and society, and how GE’s people, products, and services help to enable prosperous and productive communities around the world.
