Ethical Practices = Ethical Business.

We define corporate social responsibility as our commitment to be accountable and to make a positive difference within the full scope of our business footprint. We acknowledge that this footprint encompasses our corporate employees, associates, clients, vendors, competitors, communities and the environment.

Employee Relations

We are committed to:

• Provide an environment where our people are respected, valued, accepted and rewarded according to their contributions.

• Being an Equal Opportunity Employer where it is our policy and practice to recruit, hire, train and promote without regard to race, color, national origin, religion, gender, age, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation or other characteristics protected by law.

• Work environments that are free of all forms of illegal discrimination and harassment. It is the diversity of backgrounds and experiences, as well as fair treatment toward employees based on qualifications and performance that contributes to the success of our company.

• Protect the health and safety of all corporate employees and associates. We will not compromise the health and safety of any person for business gain and will ensure safe and healthy workplaces.
