Ethics in Our Workplace
Building and maintaining a culture of integrity is highly valued at Raytheon. We reinforce the critical significance of ethical leadership at all levels. Our Board of Directors and senior leadership team receive regular briefings on the ethics program and participate in focused ethics discussions to reflect upon and inspire our culture of integrity. In support of this leadership, we have had a well-recognized ethics and compliance program in place for more than 20 years. The primary program elements of education, counseling and investigation help employees learn and obtain advice on the proper courses of action, while holding each of us accountable for adhering to high ethical standards.

The importance of ethics in the daily work of our employees is emphasized through our extensive ethics education program. The foundation of the program is our Code of Conduct, which articulates rules and policies consistent with our company values. The Code of Conduct was updated and issued to all employees this year, and is being reinforced with a regular series of Web-based “Know the Code” articles designed to explore the real-life application of the code in our workplace.
