Commitment to Equal Opportunity
Conner Industries believes that all people are entitled to an equal employment opportunity. We do not discriminate against employees or applicants on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, citizenship, national origin, age, sex, gender, pregnancy, gender identity/expression, sexual orientation, marital status, disability, genetic information, veteran status or any other legally protected basis, in accordance with applicable federal, state or local law. Equal opportunities will be provided in recruitment, selection, job assignments, compensation, training, benefits, promotions, and all other employment practices.

Fair Employment Conditions
Employees shall have a written employment agreement and be able to understand their employment terms and conditions. Compensation paid to workers shall comply with all applicable wage laws, including those relating to minimum wages, overtime hours and legally mandated benefits. All wage statements must be clear and understandable. Working hours are not to exceed the maximum set by local law. Deduction from wages as a disciplinary measure shall not be permitted. Workers are allowed legally mandated breaks, holidays and vacation days to which they are legally entitled, including time off when ill or for maternity leave. All use of temporary, dispatch and outsourced labor will be within the limits of the local law.

Employee Treatment
There will never be any harsh or inhumane treatment including violence, gender-based violence, sexual harassment, sexual abuse, corporal punishment, mental or physical coercion, bullying, public shaming, or verbal abuse of workers. There will also never be any threat of any such treatment. Disciplinary policies and procedures are clearly defined and communicated to workers.  Additionally, workers should be able to openly communicate and share ideas and concerns with management regarding working conditions and management practices without fear of discrimination, reprisal, intimidation or harassment.

Emergency Preparedness
Potential emergency situations and events are identified and assessed, and their impact minimized by implementing emergency plans and response procedures including emergency reporting, employee notification and evacuation procedures, and worker training. Emergency plans include appropriate fire detection and suppression equipment, clear and unobstructed emergency exits and routes, adequate exit facilities, contact information for emergency responders, and recovery plans.

Occupational Safety
Worker potential for exposure to health and safety hazards are identified, assessed, and mitigated by several means including eliminating the hazard, substituting processes or materials, controlling through proper design, implementing engineering and administrative controls, preventative maintenance and safe work procedures, and providing ongoing occupational health and safety training. Workers are provided with appropriate personal protective equipment and educated about potential risks.

Occupational Illness and Injury
Conner has procedures, processes, and systems in place to prevent, manage, track and report occupational illness and injury. That includes classifying and recording cases, providing medical treatment, corrective actions, and return of employees to work.

Physically Demanding Work
Employee exposure to physically demanding tasks, including manual material handling and heavy or repetitive lifting, prolonged standing and highly repetitive or forceful assembly tasks is to be identified, evaluated and controlled.

Safeguarding Machinery
Machinery used in production and other applications will be regularly evaluated for safety hazards. Physical guards, interlocks and barriers are provided and properly maintained where machinery presents an injury hazard to workers.

Communication
Workers are provided with appropriate workplace health and safety information and training for all identified workplace hazards. Health and safety related information shall be clearly posted in the facility or placed in a location identifiable and accessible by workers. Training is provided to all workers prior to the beginning of work and regularly thereafter, and workers are encouraged to raise any health and safety concerns without retaliation.

Work Conditions
Employees are provided with clean and functional bathroom facilities, potable water, and clean and safe breakrooms.

Anti-Corruption
Conner has a zero tolerance of corruption. Employees make business decisions based on the best interests of the our company, and avoid situations that are a conflict of interest. Monitoring, record keeping, and enforcement procedures are in place to ensure compliance with anti-corruption laws.

Sales
Conner will only participate in business where we can compete fairly for business based on the quality and price of our offerings and not by offering bribes or engaging in any other unethical behavior.

Procurement
Suppliers are equally evaluated and must compete based on their product offerings, documentation, availability and pricing. Employees will not accept personal benefits in choosing suppliers. Payments made to suppliers will be appropriate, reasonable, and follow the terms of previous agreements in return for legitimate products and services.

Gifts
Conner does not offer or accept gifts, benefits, reimbursements or entertainment to or from a third party that would constitute a violation of laws or that could be perceived to affect the outcome of a business transaction or potentially expose our business to undue influence. Gifts generally include low value items given professionally without any expectation of compensation or value in return. Gifts shall have no role in a business process other than as a mark of appreciation between companies.  Conner will not, directly or indirectly, demand or accept, offer or give any kind of bribe, kickback or any other unlawful or unethical benefit.

Intellectual Property
We respect intellectual property rights. Transfer of technology and know-how is to be done in a manner that protects intellectual property rights, and customer and supplier information is to be safeguarded with reasonable entry and exit privileges.

Privacy
We are committed to protect the reasonable privacy expectations of personal information of everyone we do business with, including suppliers, customers, consumers, and employees. We will comply with privacy and information security laws and regulatory requirements when personal information is collected, stored, processed, transmitted, and shared.
