Ethics and Compliance
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.
"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."
Why Ethics Week?
Eaton’s Ethics Help Line is a dedicated resource to ask a question, raise a concern or report questionable business practices. It is open to any person. Representatives are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and in multiple languages. Interpretation services are provided when needed. You can reach the Ethics and Compliance team by phone, e-mail, through an online form, via postal mail or in person—all without fear of retaliation.
At Eaton, we learn together by transparently sharing our experiences and perspectives. Listen to Eaton leaders discuss the importance of ethics and what leading with integrity means to them.
