At Applied Materials we are committed to upholding the highest ethics standards in all of our business dealings. Our values, including a deep commitment to integrity, open communication, teamwork, trust and respect, are at the cornerstone of our success. Each of us is responsible for embracing the highest standards we set for ourselves and being a role model for our values.
Leaders are expected to create an environment where employees feel safe to speak up. When employees speak up, they are living our values and playing and important role in maintaining our ethical workplace. Applied Materials will not tolerate retaliation against any employee because they raised a genuine concern using this or any other channel.
Our reputation for honest and fair business dealings has taken fifty years to secure, but can be lost in an instant. It is our collective responsibility to protect that hard earned reputation. Every member of our global workplace has a role in conducting business using the highest standards and nothing short of ethics and legal conduct is acceptable.
