Koch Enterprises, Inc.,
has conducted business to the highest standards of ethics and integrity
since its founding in 1873 and intends to continue doing so. These
standards guide all our activities and include the following components:
We
will deal with both customers and suppliers based on merit,
fairness, and "arms-length" relationships.
We will work diligently to earn our customers business
and will expect our suppliers to do the same to earn ours.
We
will deal with competitors in intense competition, but will
not engage in any unfair or illegal methods, nor in any restraint
of trade with them.
We
will deal with all team members with respect, courtesy, and
fairness. We will ensure a workplace environment free of harassment
or discrimination. We will provide opportunities based solely
on performance.
We
will maintain full and accurate company records to account for
our activities. All assets and property of the company will
be used only for the benefit of the company. No team member
activities will conflict with the interests of the company.
We
will educate all team members concerning our ethics policies
and will require their compliance. Each team member will be
responsible for his/her own compliance with the content and
spirit of these policies, and for reporting any suspected non-compliance
of others to his/her supervisor or an officer of the company.
