LETTER FROM GARY E. KNELL

Dear Friends,
When I was offered the chance to lead the National
Geographic Society, I knew I had been given the oppor
tunity of a lifetime. I am deeply honored to follow in
John Faheys footsteps. As we continue to build upon
our impressive legacy126 years and countingwe are
well positioned to make an even bigger difference in the
world through exploration, storytelling, and education.
National Geographic seeks out the most important and compelling stories
of our time and shares them with the world. Stories matter. Documenting
the last pristine places in the ocean has helped persuade governments to
protect them. Revealing the possibility of bringing back extinct species has
fueled a lively debate about whether we should attempt to do so. National
Geographic also brings new perspectives to matters closer to home: the
causes and consequences of extreme weather, the history of sugar and its
impact on our health, why failure can sometimes be good for us.
Our stories become important the moment they inspire you to share your
thoughts and images, illuminate an issue that affects the future of the planet,
or teach you a little more about our interconnected world. We are focusing
on three tenetsinspire, illuminate, and teachwhich youll read more about
in this report.
I look forward to working with youour most devoted donors and partners
on advancing our mission. With your help, we can change the world for the
better. Thank you for supporting our work in 2013.

New information on the ivory trade and other threats to elephants has resulted
in global action. In September 2013 National Geographic joined other organizations
and several African nations in signing the Clinton Global Initiatives Partnership to
Save Africas Elephants, an international effort to stop elephant poaching and ivory
trafficking. In November the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service destroyed some six tons of
impounded ivoryalmost a quarter centurys worth of seized carvings and raw tusks.
The government of China followed suit in January 2014 with a public ceremony to
destroy more than six tons of seized elephant ivory, the first event of its kind in China.
And in February the Obama Administration announced enhanced restrictions on the
ivory trade designed to create a near-complete ban on the commercial sale of African
elephant ivory in the United States.

SUSTAINABILITY AT NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC

* Bequest
Deceased

To learn more, visit nationalgeographic.org/sustainability.

At National Geographic, stories matter. But our values extend beyond

our exploration, photography, and reporting. We care about people, our
environment, and making smart financial choices. Thats why we adopted
triple bottom line accountingwhich means we seek to make decisions
based not only on revenue but also on the effect the decisions will have on
our employees, our community, and our planet.
We hope to be as bold in our sustainability efforts as the explorers we sup
port. We strive to minimize our own environmental impact and the impact
of our suppliers and partners. Our Green Team of staff volunteers from all
parts of the Society works daily to identify and reduce operational waste.
National Geographic values its stellar staff. We encourage environmentally
friendly commuting, inclusive employment policies, and healthful food
options, all of which are communicated through our award-winning intranet.
We have set the following operational goals to be met by 2015:
Reduce our use of electricity by 5 percent compared with 2011.
Reduce our use of water by 10 percent compared with 2011.
Reduce our waste sent to landfills by 25 percent compared with 2011.
Work with our suppliers to reduce the greenhouse gases emitted on
our behalf by 5 percent compared with 2011.

Staff and members of the community gather in the courtyard of National Geographic
headquarters on Washington, D.C.s Bike to Work Day.

INSPIRING US TO CARE ABOUT THE PLANET

John Fahey joined National Geographic on
April 1, 1996, as the first president and CEO of
National Geographic Ventures. The digital
revolution was beginning to topple old media
empires everywhere, and John left his post as
head of Time Life Inc. to help the Society navigate
previously unexplored territory. His efforts were
recognized with his promotion to president and
CEO of the Society in March 1998.
The organization John took charge of nearly two decades ago little resembles
the one he has turned over to Gary E. Knell. For one thing, it is now inter
national in all but name. After being published only in English for more than
a century, National Geographic magazine is now also printed in 39 locallanguage editions, reaching millions of people. The Society launched the
National Geographic Channel under Johns direction in September 1997.
Today, multiple National Geographic Channels reach more than 440 million
households in over 170 countries. The Societys international growth encom
passes content for media platforms including magazines, books, a host of
digital offerings, and a website that logs more than 25 million visits a month.
