Synopsys in Armenia Among Twelve Finalists to Receive U.S. Secretary
of State's 2010 Award for Corporate Excellence ACE
Synopsys, Inc. (Nasdaq: SNPS), a world leader in software and IP for
semiconductor design, verification and manufacturing, announced that
the U.S. State Department has recognized Synopsys in Armenia among 12
finalists worldwide for the U.S. Secretary of State's prestigious 2010
Award for Corporate Excellence (ACE). The finalists were chosen from a
record number of 78 nominations submitted by American ambassadors
around the world. ACE finalists are international business leaders who
recognize the vital role that U.S. businesses play abroad as good
corporate citizens. The Secretary of State has awarded the ACE since
1999 to recognize U.S. businesses for advancing good corporate
citizenship, innovation and democratic principles.
Synopsys is recognized for the software company's "promotion of U.S.
and foreign investors by showcasing Armenia as a potential
informational technology (IT) hub; collaboration with universities on
IT training programs; and reduction of pollution levels by planting
hundreds of trees to counter recent deforestation."
On November 10, 2010, Honorable Marie L. Yavanovitch, Ambassador of
the United States of America, revealed a special plaque at the
Synopsys Armenia R&D Center in Yerevan. The plaque is signed by Under
Secretary of Economic, Energy and Agricultural Affairs Robert Hormats.
The special citation was offered to Synopsys "in recognition of
corporate citizenship, innovation and exemplary business practices in
Armenia."
Other finalists are Alta Ventures in Mexico, Cisco in Israel,
Coca-Cola in Swaziland, Denimatrix in Guatemala, Fiji Water in Fiji,
GE in India, Intel in Costa Rica, Mars, Inc. in Ghana, PepsiCo in
India, Qualcomm in China, and Tang Energy in China.
"Synopsys is committed to bringing the best technology solutions to
our customers and to improving the communities where our employees
work and live. Synopsys Armenia exemplifies how our business practices
throughout the world reflect our company values of leadership,
customer success and integrity," said Rich Goldman, vice president of
corporate marketing and strategic alliances at Synopsys. "Whether it's
helping ensure engineering students have access to the most advanced
tools available, or planting trees in areas devoid of greenery,
Synopsys' investments are intended to encourage growth. We thank the
U.S. Secretary of State for recognizing these achievements by choosing
Synopsys Armenia as an ACE finalist, and hope this recognition will
inspire other companies to promote corporate social responsibility."
