How We Use the Code
Our Code of Business Conduct guides all of us at Hexcel to act ethically. Our Code and our good judgment help us live our Values regardless of our job or location.
Our Code helps us:
- Understand expectations and where to seek assistance for ethical and legal questions.
- Report suspected unethical or unlawful conduct.
- Ensure prompt corrective action is taken in response to inappropriate conduct or wrongdoing.
- Avoid even the appearance of impropriety.
Our Responsibilities
We are all responsible for knowing and following our Code. It applies to everyone doing Hexcel business, including all directors, officers, employees, consultants and business partners.
Special Responsibilities of Leaders
Those with leadership or supervisory roles have heightened responsibilities. Leaders encourage their teams to follow our Values, the Code and the law by:
- Creating a safe and healthy work environment for our team members that promotes integrity.
- Communicating the importance of ethical practices and the long-term value of doing the right thing.
- Encouraging others to speak up without fear of retaliation.
- Being responsive and supportive when others reach out for help.
Hexcel managers and supervisors are also required to report immediately any and all violations of the Code, Hexcel policy or applicable law.
