While the code does not seek to address every potential situation and dilemma, it’s a valuable resource for providing guidance and direction to help you seek answers to questions or concerns. The company is relying on you to speak up if you see something that’s just not right. If you believe something unethical is occurring in the company, use our ethics reporting resources without fear of retaliation.

I hope you understand the important role you have in upholding our principles of honesty, fairness, respect and responsibility, and I ask that you reaffirm your commitment to ethics in all that you do. The strength our company draws from your commitment is monumental and enables us to continue to grow and prosper.

Thank you for joining me in Turning Ethics into Action at The Timken Company.
