Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

inclusion free from discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. All of you have a responsibility to always
treat others with dignity and respect including during work, at work functions on or off the work site,

Our employees are the most valuable asset we have. The collective sum of the individual differences, life
experiences, knowledge, inventiveness, innovation, self-expression, unique capabilities, and talent our
employees invest in their work represents a significant part of our culture and reputation.
We embrace and encourage our employees’ differences that make our employees unique. We
encourage and enforce respectful communication and cooperation between all employees. Teamwork

an essential element of developing this work environment.

You will be required to attend and complete annual awareness training to enhance your knowledge to
fulfill this responsibility.
