We seek customers and partners who share our values and standards of conduct. BRENDAN BECHTEL, CHAIRMAN & CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER At the beginning of every customer relationship, we sit down together and define what good looks like in terms of being a good partner. As part of that, I give every customer a copy of our Vision, Values & Covenants and say, ‘this is our ultimate measure of success. If we’re not living up to this, pick up the phone and call me, and we will fix it. 24/7/365 We encourage and expect Bechtel employees to speak up if they become aware of any unlawful or unethical conduct. The Bechtel Ethics HelpLine is a confidential means of communication separate from line management available to employees to discuss any ethics or compliance question or concern. The HelpLine is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by an independent service provider. We make available native speakers or translators of more than 200 languages. Our colleagues can raise issues online and outside the Bechtel network via a web portal at helpline.bechtel.com. Colleagues can access this portal using any Internet connection, and Bechtel log-in information is not required. The site includes frequently asked questions about the HelpLine process and a copy of the Bechtel Code of Conduct.
