The Company strives to develop a culture where members, customers, suppliers, shareholders and the public experience fairness and respect in their relations with the Company. The Company is also committed to providing a safe work environment for members and visitors.

We will not tolerate discrimination against any individual because of sex, race, age, religion, color, creed, disability, ancestry, national origin, veteran status or other protected status under applicable law.

We will not tolerate work-related harassment, offensive behavior, behavior that is inappropriate for the workplace, violence or threatening behavior.

In order to provide a work environment where members and visitors experience fairness and respect:

1. We will create a work environment where unlawful discrimination, harassment, offensive behavior and violent behavior are not tolerated; and
     
2. The member will contact Member and Community Relations personnel or the corporate Law Department where experts in this area are available to assist with any questions and concerns.
   

Safety, health, and environmental laws and regulations play an important role in the way the Company conducts its business.

In addition to manufacturing and production, the packaging, marking, handling, storage, transportation, and disposal of raw materials, products and wastes are regulated. Even the marketing of our products may be affected by various environmental laws.

The Company has an active safety and environmental program. Each member's safety is everyone's concern and priority. Learn the rules of the workplace and follow them.

Safety and environmental laws and regulations impose on both individuals and companies severe criminal, civil and administrative penalties when violations occur. Individuals who violate these laws and regulations also risk Company sanctions, including appropriate disciplinary actions, up to and including dismissal.

To promote safety, health and environmental protection, we will:

1. Follow the Company's Member Safety Program and procedures.
     
2. Ask a supervisor when in doubt concerning safety and environmental obligations and specific safety procedures or environmental permit requirements as well as other legal or Company requirements that may affect our jobs.
     
3. Follow the Company's Environmental Policy committing us to meet or exceed applicable environmental standards to protect soil, air and water.
     
4. Strictly adhere to internal policies and correctly complete permit applications. Submit in a timely manner only duly authorized, complete and accurate information in response to applicable safety and environmental law, regulation and permit requirements.
     
5. Consult the corporate Law Department whenever a question arises about the meaning or application of safety and environmental laws.
