 with over half of our senior leadership and
          over half of our business unit leaders previously having been promoted to their current role from within the Company. We closely monitor turnover overall and in critical roles to vet our retention efforts and identify areas of need for future
          investment.

Our Corporate Creed, set forth at the beginning of our Code of Conduct, sets forth four non-negotiable rules: (1) Always tell the truth; (2) Always produce safe, high-quality products in safe and secure facilities; (3)
          Always be professional; and (4) Find a way to say “yes” to customers. Employees throughout the organization know these expectations as the “Four Rules.” Under the Four Rules, all of our employees are expected to exhibit and promote integrity,
          safety, professionalism, and a customer-centric mentality in the workplace. All of our employees must adhere to these non-negotiable expectations for appropriate behavior. We perform annual, company-wide training on our Code of Conduct, as well
          as for all new hires. The CEO personally provides instruction on the Four Rules during leadership training conducted each year throughout the organization and his company-wide Town Halls. To further reinforce our expectations, the CEO internally
          publishes anonymized quarterly reports of Code of Conduct violations and their consequences, which invariably means termination of employment. In addition, we strictly apply principles of non-discrimination, which are foundational to our
          non-negotiable expectations of integrity and professionalism, in all employment-related decisions.

Health and Safety

We take pride in our strong and continually improving health and safety programs, which we view as important aspects of our economic health and core values, and we expect each employee to actively participate in
            and contribute to our goal of always providing a safe work place. Examples of specific practices demonstrating our commitment and progress toward achieving this goal include: (i) Corporate Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) Department
          oversight of safety and compliance matters at all Company facilities; (ii) periodic EHS audits conducted at Company facilities by third parties at the direction of the Corporate Legal Department to determine the state of facility compliance with
          applicable safety laws and regulations; (iii) implementation of “best-practice” programs and management systems across all business units worldwide; (iv) ongoing capital investments aimed at continually improving
            standards for environment, health, and safety in each of our plants around the world; (v) meaningful use of metrics to apply leading and lagging indicators toward incremental improvement and sustainable results; (vi)
