Code of Ethics 

 Intent

Weber Manufacturing Technologies Code of Ethics defines the rules of business conduct that must be applied to our day-to-day relations both internally and with outside parties. The rules set out in this Code of Ethics are not exhaustive; combined with our associates’ sense of responsibility, they establish the fundamental rules of business conduct and ethical guidelines applicable to all Weber associates. These rules in no way replace any laws or regulations in force in the various countries where Weber does business or the principles and rules arising from other internal policies and procedures applicable within Weber.

Guidelines

Weber does not tolerate unethical behaviour and will take immediate and appropriate disciplinary action to correct any issues.

All associates must always adhere to applicable laws. Associates must not engage in or condone any unlawful activity or attempt to circumvent the clear intention of the law. Associates must also adhere to all company policies.

If an associate discovers illegal activity related to the workplace, they must report the activity to their Supervisor, Human Resources, or President.  The company will not retaliate or condone acts of retaliation against any employee who initiates a complaint, reports illegal activity, or reports suspected violations of company policies.
