AT&T Receives Top Honors for Commitment to Hispanics

Company Recognized by LATINA Style Magazine for 10th Consecutive Year

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T) has announced that the company has been recognized by three Hispanic magazines for the company’s commitment to people of color, and more specifically, the Hispanic community.

AT&T has once again been selected as one of the 50 Best Companies for Latinas to Work For in the United States, also known as the LATINA Style 50, by LATINA Style magazine. AT&T is included among the Top 12 Companies in this year’s list, which appeared in the August 2007 issue of the magazine.

For this year’s LATINA
Style 50 list, more than 800 U.S. corporations were surveyed on items
deemed most important by the publication’s Hispanic female readers,
including mentoring programs, Latina executives and board members,
educational opportunities, alternative work policies, dependent/child
care support and employee benefits. AT&T has been included among
the magazine’s 50 Best Companies for 10 consecutive years and was also
ranked among the Top 12 Companies in 2006.

“It is particularly significant that AT&T, a technology company,
was chosen for the LATINA Style 50 list,” said Robert Bard, president
and publisher of LATINA Style magazine. “Even more, being one of the
Top 12 Companies makes a strong statement regarding the company’s
commitment to develop and nurture Latina talent. All research on the
future of the labor market indicates that some of the most promising
careers of the future are in the technology field. Latinas have
significant representation at AT&T, a strong indication that the
commitment to develop their talents is a priority for the company and
is something that will certainly continue in the future.”

In addition to this accolade from LATINA Style, AT&T has been named
as one of the Diversity Elite 60 by Hispanic Business magazine and has
been selected for Latin Business magazine’s Corporate Diversity Honor
Roll. The Latin Business and Hispanic Business lists recognize
companies’ commitments to reaching out to Hispanics in the areas of
recruitment, promotion, procurement, philanthropy and marketing. The
lists are included in the Fall issues of the magazines.

“Diversity and inclusion are top priorities at AT&T,” said Bob
Reed, vice president-Diversity & Inclusion. “These elements are the
cornerstone of a successful business strategy, and these recognitions
reflect our philosophy.”

Other honors that AT&T has received in 2007 include being ranked
No. 3 among DiversityInc’s Top 50 Companies for Diversity because of
the company’s commitment to diversity in the workplace and marketplace.
AT&T also was ranked No. 1 among DiversityBusiness.com’s Top
Organizations for Multicultural Business Opportunities because of the
consistency and quality of business opportunities granted to minority-
and women-owned companies.

In cultivating and championing diversity and inclusion, AT&T has
created a better business environment, which has made the company an
employer of choice, a preferred business partner and an important
contributor to the community.
