Corporate Governance

Main Content Starts Here


°ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½± believes that good governance sets the foundation for success. In all our efforts, we seek to work well, and that starts with how we manage our own business. The governance principles we practice today were built on the °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½± Code of Business Conduct, established more than 35 years ago.

Code of Conduct

°ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½±'s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is the foundation for specific practices, policies and guidelines that determine how we conduct day-to-day business, and it remains °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½±'s cornerstone.Ìý

It calls all employees to help:Ìý

  1. Manage °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½± according to the highest business, ethical,
    moral and civic standards as a public company
  2. Operate in a manner that earns the respect of our
    shareholders, employees, communities, customers, suppliers and all others with a stake in our success
  3. ÌýMake °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½± a top-performing company, managed for the long-term benefit of all our constituents.

To help ensure that the Code remains our cornerstone, every employee, worldwide, receives a copy of our Code when they join °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½±; the Code is available in multiple languages for °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½± employees. Read the full text of °ÄÃÅ6ºÏ¿ª²Ê¿ª½±'s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (±Ê¶Ù¹ó).Ìý
