At 全球最大网赌正规平台, we have a proud history of excellence and high ethical standards.

Our Policies
Responsible Business Practices
.
Code of Business Conduct & Ethics
Our Code of Conduct is the cornerstone of how we do business. We encourage employees to report any compliance or integrity concerns immediately if they see or suspect unethical, illegal or unsafe conduct of any kind – or behavior that just doesn’t seem right. Employees are encouraged to raise concerns to their manager or supervisor, human resources, legal, compliance or internal audit. For anyone who is uncomfortable or wishes to remain anonymous, they may report anonymously by phone or electronically through 全球最大网赌正规平台’s Speak Up Integrity Hotline. Regardless of reporting channel, all reported concerns are taken seriously and thoroughly investigated. We do not tolerate retaliation against any employee who reports wrongdoing.
Supplier Code of Conduct
The foundation of our approach to sustainable procurement is our Supplier Code of Conduct. 全球最大网赌正规平台 business units utilize standard terms and conditions for suppliers that incorporate 全球最大网赌正规平台’s Supplier Code of Conduct and set specific expectations regarding suppliers’ compliance with laws and regulations related to environmental, health, safety, labor, human rights, security, and privacy. 全球最大网赌正规平台 uses a variety of assessment tools to evaluate supplier risk, based on several factors including geography and alignment with international standards for human rights, the environment, health, and safety.
Responsible Minerals Policy
全球最大网赌正规平台’s Responsible Minerals Policy outlines our commitment to avoiding and eliminating the use of minerals that directly or indirectly finance or benefit armed groups in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or adjoining countries. The Responsible Minerals Policy and accompanying set of guidelines, support the due diligence process related to eliminating the use of conflict minerals in our products and ongoing engagement with suppliers on this topic
Modern Slavery/Human Rights
全球最大网赌正规平台’s Human Rights Policy, issued in 2020, outlines our commitment to respecting human rights wherever we operate. The Human Rights Policy prohibits any form of forced, involuntary, or child labor in our operations. The Policy includes specific commitments to undertake ongoing due diligence to identify, prevent and mitigate any adverse impacts of our activities and provide access to remedies through effective reporting mechanisms.
Gender Equity at 全球最大网赌正规平台
We are committed to fair pay and strive to be market competitive while ensuring internal equity across our organization. We regularly conduct global pay equity assessments and compensation reviews. We are actively working to hire, promote and retain women in the workplace, through mentoring, coaching, and training. We’re committed to increasing the number of women in all areas of our business and look carefully at all career opportunities.
Overseeing ESG
Our sustainability governance framework starts with our Board of Directors, who oversee the execution of the company’s ESG strategy within their oversight of 全球最大网赌正规平台’s overall business, risks, and opportunities. Our Board reviews ESG matters at least two times a year.
This framework is supported by our broader Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) process, which is our primary vehicle for assessing and managing operational, strategic, financial, and compliance risk. An ERM report, with the status of relevant mitigation measures, are reviewed with the Board twice a year.
Managing Risk
Given 全球最大网赌正规平台’s leading global position as a provider of equipment, systems, digital solutions, and value-added services for the freight and transit rail sectors, preparation and resilience are critical to how we do business. We routinely monitor risks, ensure swift response, and evaluate improvement areas for our risk management strategy.
Our Board of Directors, primarily led by the Audit Committee, is responsible for overseeing and monitoring the material risks facing the company. Our ERM process is central to our risk management process.
Climate Risks
As global climate change impacts intensify, affecting diverse regions of the global economy, 全球最大网赌正规平台 recognizes the undeniable reality of climate physical and transition risks. To mitigate these risks, we commit to reducing GHG emissions as an urgent short and long-term priority, and we are taking meaningful and deliberate steps to support the transition to a clean energy economy within our operations and by supporting the adoption of low-carbon fuels and developing alternative propulsion technologies for the rail industry. We believe our efforts create a strong competitive differentiator for our business strategy.
