Our commitment to our core value of ethics and integrity and to Turning Ethics into Action is strengthened by our commitment to our Standards of Business Ethics, company policies and the laws and regulations of the countries in which we conduct business.

Violations of any company policy or the law may carry serious consequences. These include disciplinary action, up to and including termination, and possible civil or criminal liability. Our company retains the right to administer disciplinary action in response to acts of misconduct. All Timken officers and managers are responsible for the enforcement of this policy, and for ensuring associates’ knowledge of and compliance with its guidelines. All Timken associates, directors and agents have the responsibility to fully comply with this policy. Our general counsel holds ultimate responsibility for the interpretation of this policy.

Although the statements contained in this policy pertain to many types of business conduct generally considered to be improper, they do not specifically list every type of misconduct. No single document can. Therefore, if you have any questions or concerns, or are unsure if an action you have observed or engaged in constitutes misconduct, please reach out to any of the ethics reporting resources available to you.
