At Timken, we are guided by our company’s core values – ethics and integrity, quality, innovation and independence. With this strong foundation, it is our global policy to operate safely and responsibly to protect our associates, our suppliers, our customers, the communities where we operate and the environment. We are committed to continuously improving our environmental, health and safety (EHS) performance. By doing so, we will create a safe and healthy workplace, take
responsible care of environmental resources and develop sustainable technologies and business practices that contribute to global economic growth and prosperity.

Every Timken associate is responsible for understanding and supporting this policy and the following objectives:

• Comply with all EHS laws, regulations, company policies and standards and require the same from our suppliers.
• Make EHS performance a priority in our business and operations planning and decision-making. We are guided by our core value of ethics and integrity to do what is right.
• Expect associates and contractors to always conduct their activities safely and responsibly. We help them do this through education and training.
• Be diligent in identifying and assessing risks and potential hazards that can affect our environmental, health and safety performance and be quick to take corrective action.
• Support environmental sustainability through pollution prevention, waste management, recycling, energy conservation and energy-saving product innovations in
  friction management and power transmission.
• Measure and assess our progress toward our EHS objectives and communicate this regularly to interested stakeholders.

We expect managers to provide the leadership for delivering on our EHS objectives. Likewise, we expect every Timken associate to contribute through decision-making and actions that are consistent with these objectives.
