Code of Conduct Letter from MWV's Chairman and CEO
MWV employees are expected to act in accordance with the highest standards of ethical conduct. This Code of Conduct briefly summarizes the policies and principles by which we commit ourselves to the safe, honest, thoughtful and responsible operation of all of our businesses and facilities.
These policies and principles support our core values of integrity, respect for the individual, commitment to excellence and teamwork. Our ethics and values are essential to the success of our global business. They give our customers confidence in our products, in our services and in our word. They give us pride in our work and they maintain our standing as a good corporate citizen.
Violations of law or policy can expose our company and its employees to stern sanctions and prosecution. Failure to follow our compliance policies may result in discipline, including termination.
Our dedication to integrity, however, must take us beyond compliance with the law. We should never forget that our reputation for ethical behavior is a tremendous asset for this company and its employees.
John A. Luke, Jr.
Chairman and CEO
