We are committed to operating our business openly and responsibly, and to generating value for all of our stakeholders through effective and ethical management. Our objectives are to: • Foster a positive environment for employees that supports leadership, diversity and safety; • Promote a corporate culture that adheres to the highest ethical standards; • Generate superior returns for our shareholders; • Provide our customers with the best value and quality in products and services. Employees A strong management and employee framework is a critically important component of BMHC’s success. The combination of our corporate leadership and decentralized management structure enables us to leverage expertise across the Company and provide necessary autonomy and authority to respond to individual market trends. We enhance corporate performance by investing in our employees’ training and development and helping them reach their own career and personal goals. Our strong safety, training and quality assurance programs are top priorities, to protect our employees as well as our reputation in the marketplace. We are committed to being the employer of choice. Attracting the best people and investing in their growth ensures that our customers are served by the most reliable, experienced and motivated team in the industry. Shareholders Strong and effective corporate governance is a key element in how BMHC carries out its business. We maintain compliance and control systems throughout our organization and adhere to sound financial reporting practices. As a public company, we take seriously our responsibilities to our shareholders and the investment community, and remain committed to conducting our business activities according to the highest business ethics. Customers We maintain strong relationships with our customers and strive to be the provider of choice to both high-volume production homebuilders and regional and custom homebuilders by anticipating and serving their different requirements. Satisfied customers are essential to the continued growth and success of BMHC. Responding to customer needs and adapting our product and service offerings to meet their changing needs is a critical part of how we operate our business. Communities BMHC’s responsibility extends beyond our facilities and job sites into the communities that support our operations. The Company and our employees are dedicated to having a direct positive impact on the communities in which we operate. BMHC gives back to its communities through programs including annual Habitat for Humanity projects, The United Way, Junior Achievement, Hispanic Scholarship Support and, in 2005, relief efforts after the Asian tsunami and Hurricane Katrina. Our employees also personally volunteer their time and energy to local educational, youth and cultural organizations. Environment BMHC is committed to environmental protection. We take seriously our responsibility to minimize the environmental impact of our operations. We will continue our efforts to support processes that ensure the wood and wood-related products we use or distribute in the residential construction industry are from sustainable forests managed according to sound environmental principles certified by independent third-party programs.
