Doing Right
At Southwire, doing right is far more than a slogan. It’s a way of life.
Our code of conduct – aptly titled “Do The Right Thing” - defines the way each of us is expected to conduct his or her daily business activities. These practices go beyond what is required by law and help us assure Southwire conducts business in a legal, ethical, transparent, fair and sustainable manner.
Southwire is expanding its efforts to monitor compliance with ethical standards and make certain our employees receive thorough education about what it means to do right. Ethical behavior means little in the absence of transparency. We want our neighbors to know we understand their concerns about the environment, health and safety. We continue to foster these relationships and develop new ones as we strive to operate in an open and transparent manner with all stakeholders.
Southwire first seeks to listen to and understand the needs of our employees, customers, suppliers and neighbors. Then we act responsibly to meet those needs.
