Ethics and Compliance

Our Code of Ethics

At Eaton, we all own ethics. We hold ourselves to the highest ethical standards in every situation. Our Code sets forth ten key principles of ethical behavior, which serve as the foundation for doing business right. It does not and cannot cover every ethical issue, but it serves as a guide for our daily work and explains what it means to act with integrity.

In 2023, we refreshed our Code to ensure that it reflects the evolving business environment and our culture at Eaton. We also made our Code more digital, interactive and user-friendly.

Eaton Code of Ethics - English

"As leaders, we must consistently align our words with our actions to earn the trust of our employees and all our stakeholders. It’s this trust that allows us to build the ethical culture that unites us."

Paulo Ruiz, President and Chief Executive Officer

Eaton named one of the 2025 World’s Most Ethical Companies

Why Ethics Week?

Ethics Week is a time to reflect on our values and commitment to ethical behavior in the workplace. Leading with integrity helps us build a culture of trust, respect, and accountability. Creating this culture requires open discussions about ethics. Research shows that talking about and celebrating ethics makes a significant impact!
