CODE OF ETHICS AND CORE VALUES

Goodwill-Easter Seals has adopted a Code of Ethics. These standards, combined with the employee’s
common sense and sound judgment, will help all of us choose the best course of action and way to
work.
GESMN has also identified six core values, which are Respect, Communication, Contribution,
Accountability, Continuous Improvement, and Recognition. These values are vital to the success of our
organization.
We exist to provide service to others and to fulfill our mission, vision, and values. Our mission statement
reflects our commitment to serving others while demonstrating respect for human dignity, privacy, and
the right to self-determination. We pursue excellence in all that we do. We also believe in the
importance of charitable giving and its impact on eliminating barriers to work and independence. We
hold our employees to the highest standards of integrity, guided by our mission and core values.

REPORTING CODE OF ETHICS VIOLATIONS

Goodwill-Easter Seals expects all employees to demonstrate the highest ethical standards in the work
they do. The organization is committed to ensuring that an environment exists for employees to report
suspected violations of the Code of Ethics or any other types of unethical, illegal, or fraudulent activity
without fear of retaliation.
