Ethics
As a responsible company with operations around the world, we recognize the importance of conducting business with integrity, transparency, consistency and accountability. Our strong ethical foundation serves as the guiding principle that shapes our interactions with customers, employees, vendors and the communities where we operate.
Mohawk has zero tolerance for unethical conduct, including corruption, discrimination and harassment. Our Standards of Conduct and Business Ethics, along with our Human Rights Policy, establish a robust framework to promote a culture of ethics and compliance within our organization. We have also implemented policies across our global operations to discourage anti-competitive practices. Compliance with these standards is expected of all employees, officers and directors.


Given our global footprint, we continually review and update our ethical policies to keep them effective and consistent across all regions. To proactively manage corruption risks, we regularly assess potential vulnerabilities and provide comprehensive anti-corruption and anti-competition training every two years in multiple languages. This training equips our teams with the knowledge and tools they need to identify and address risks, reinforcing our commitment to ethical conduct across the Company. In 2024, more than 99% of employees completed the training, up 10% from 2022. In 2023, a scheduled off-year for training, business presidents sent communications to their organizations highlighting specific corruption risks and the importance of ethical business practices.
Due to the extensive scope and scale of our business, we encourage our employees to assist us in pinpointing potential issues. We foster a culture where employees feel comfortable reporting any concerns. To facilitate this, we conduct annual business standards surveys to identify potential issues across our organization. We also provide tools for employees, customers and suppliers to report any concerns, including a confidential website and anonymous hotlines staffed around the clock by a third party. These channels are accessible in local languages to allow everyone to have a voice and share input without fear of retaliation.
We believe that fostering a supportive workplace benefits our employees and contributes to our overall success as an organization. To promote a safe and respectful work environment and culture, we implemented a robust and strictly enforced anti-harassment policy that all employees are required to read and follow.
Political Engagement
Our approach to political engagement is responsible, transparent and consciously limited. We do not make direct political contributions to candidates, political parties or political action committees. Our political impartiality is consistent throughout the organization. While we are members of trade associations and chambers of commerce, we do not exert influence over their political activities. We acknowledge that our positions may not always align with those of the organizations of which we are members, and we maintain independence in our decision-making process. To uphold transparency, we disclose our memberships in trade associations and chambers of commerce, along with identifying the financial support we provide to organizations that exert even minimal political influence. For more information, see our Political Contributions Policy. Mohawk neither endorses specific candidates nor attempts to influence the voting decisions of our team members. Mohawk does, however, encourage team members to vote and has included voter registration opportunities at numerous events.
Regulatory Compliance
As a global leader in the flooring industry, we are committed to compliance with laws, regulations and industry guidelines. We view compliance not only as a legal requirement but as a fundamental component of our relationship with our communities and our commitment to the world. Our comprehensive compliance program encompasses legal compliance, data privacy, environmental regulations, labor laws and health and safety standards.
