Code of Conduct

From the Introduction to Ingersoll Rand's "Our Code of Conduct" brochure:

Throughout the company’s history, Ingersoll Rand has been committed to conducting business with the highest ethical standards. Maintaining these standards has never been more important than in today’s competitive and rapidly changing global business climate, and I am committed to ensuring that our company preserves its established reputation for integrity.

As employees of Ingersoll Rand, we are all expected to be familiar with this Code of Conduct, which serves as a guideline for how we should interact with our customers, business partners, fellow employees and members of our communities. The Code of Conduct is an extension of our core values. These values – integrity, respect, teamwork, innovation and courage – in concert with the Code help us to understand our responsibilities and assist us in making the right choices. Although we cannot anticipate every ethical situation or decision we might face, this document outlines the principles for ethical conduct and identifies the channels and procedures we have established to answer your questions.

In every business decision we make, it is essential that we follow the ethics and principles of our Code of Conduct and fulfill our responsibility to report anything that might violate these principles. Our goal is to create an open atmosphere that encourages employees to voice concerns about ethics and compliance issues without fear of retaliation.

I expect that all of us will conduct our responsibilities according to the letter and spirit of the guidelines outlined in this document. We will be unflinching with those who do not: an employee’s breach of the Code of Conduct could constitute cause for termination.

Please join me in maintaining IR’s reputation for honesty and integrity in everything we do. It is the foundation to our success now and in the future. Sincerely,
