Our Commitment to Ethical Excellence

We strongly believe uncompromising adherence to ethical excellence is integral to creating and maintaining a world-class company. The Company conducts its business practices honestly and ethically, in full compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, in a socially responsible manner, and with a commitment to sustainable development and workforce diversity.

Our Code of Conduct expresses principles of lawful, respectful and ethical conduct and behavior that is expected to be exhibited and practiced by every director, officer and employee of the Company, its subsidiaries and controlled affiliates. The Company and its directors, officers and employees, wherever they may be located, must conduct their business and personal affairs with uncompromising honesty and integrity and adhere to the highest legal and ethical standards. The Company conducts its business in accordance with applicable laws, rules and regulations of the countries in which it operates. When a conflict arises between the Company’s policies and the customs or practices of a country, the Company seeks to resolve the conflict consistent with its ethical beliefs.

In addition to legal, ethical and respectful behavior, all employees are expected to protect and safeguard the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability and performance. All Company assets should be used strictly for legitimate business purposes.

Each director, officer and employee is expected to immediately report any illegal or unethical acts discovered or suspected. There will never be a penalty for reporting in good faith these discoveries or suspicions, and the Company will appropriately sanction anyone who tries to retaliate against someone who has made such a good faith report. All Company personnel are encouraged to talk to a supervisor, manager or other appropriate personnel when in doubt as to the best course of action to take in a particular situation.
