Business Conduct Guidelines

Operating with the highest standards of ethics and integrity defines Grainger’s strong culture and who we are as a company. Each day, team members strengthen our culture by maintaining our good reputation, complying with all laws and following ethical practices. The Business Conduct Guidelines define our shared expectations of how we work together, serve customers and business partners, and honor our commitments to shareholders everywhere we do business globally. They’re essential to maintaining and strengthening our healthy workplace.

Each year, all team members, officers and members of our Board of Directors are required, as a condition of employment, to certify that they read, understand and comply with our Business Conduct Guidelines. This includes following the Guidelines, supporting others to do so, and speaking up when there is a suspected violation. All reports are taken seriously, investigated thoroughly and addressed promptly. Those who violate the guidelines may face serious repercussions, including termination from the company.
