Ethics

Given Mohawk’s substantial international footprint, we continually evaluate and enhance our ethical policies and procedures for consistency and effectiveness. To mitigate corruption risks, we regularly assess and analyze potential vulnerabilities and provide biennial anti-corruption and anti-competition training in multiple languages to our employees. In 2022, more than 88% of participants completed the training. 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.
