Ethics
Honesty, integrity and transparency are critical to sustaining any organization. All Company employees, officers and directors are expected to adhere to a code of conduct that demands integrity and a high standard of ethics. As our Standards of Conduct and Ethics states succinctly, "Mohawk is committed to doing what is right and deterring wrongdoing."
To this end, we have identified those employees who are most at risk for encountering circumstances that require sound ethical judgment. These employees complete an ethics/corruption survey as part of their annual review.
Mohawk Industries does not receive any significant financial assistance from local, state or federal government entities. The Company does not lobby on behalf of its own business operations nor does the Company make financial contributions to political candidates. Mohawk employees may make individual contributions to political candidates. On occasion, Mohawk does participate in industry lobbying and public policy development efforts.
Supplier Code of Conduct
Mohawk has supplier codes of conduct in place that address products and raw materials obtained from suppliers operating outside the United States. These codes support Mohawk's fundamental expectation, consistent with ILO labor standards, that suppliers (i) prohibit the use of child, forced or involuntary labor, (ii) maintain workplaces free of coercion and harassment, (iii) provide employees with a safe and healthy workplace and (iv) respect the rights of employees to organize and bargain collectively. We believe adherence to these codes is very important, and we audit suppliers' performance.
