Commitment to Inclusion.  We strive to promote inclusion in the workplace, to build on our understanding of potential human rights issues by engaging with appropriate communities, and to interact with our employees and all communities in a manner that respects human rights.  We encourage our suppliers to follow these practices as well.  As of September 30, 2025, women and minorities represented 33% and 44% of our Board of Directors, respectively.

We condemn human rights abuses and do not condone the use of slave or forced labor, human trafficking, child labor, the degrading treatment of individuals, physical punishment, or unsafe working conditions.  

All employees are required to understand and obey local laws, to report any suspected violations, and to act in accordance with our Core Values and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics. 

We are committed to providing fair and equitable pay.  We have a comprehensive pay structure that allows for employee development and provides promotional opportunities.  In 2024, we invested in a leading software solution to conduct workforce pay equity audits that consider gender, race/ethnicity, age, and disabilities.
