Dear Colleagues,
At Fluor, we are building a better future by delivering solutions that work, completing projects with the highest standards of quality and safety, and maintaining our high ethical standards. That’s no small feat. Every day, we must show our clients and communities that we continue to deserve their trust.
Our company is successful when we embrace our Core Values of safety, integrity, teamwork and excellence. They act as our behavioral compass and define how we work together to build projects and provide services that improve our communities. We must stand firm in our integrity. We must follow proper financial and accounting protocols and we must take responsibility for our actions. In 2020 we conducted an extensive internal financial review which identified material weaknesses related to internal controls and ethics. We are actively putting into operation important remediation actions to address these weaknesses.
We must embrace a “speak up” culture that values candor across all aspects of our company, in all of our day-to-day activities and in our adherence to Fluor’s policies and procedures. The consequences of not doing so are severe. There is never an excuse to bend the rules or break the law or to pressure others into doing so.
Fluor’s Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reflects our continuing and absolute determination to do the right thing and serves as a resource for all employees. It summarizes, clarifies and updates our existing standards for employee conduct and requires that we treat each other, our clients, and community with dignity and respect in all our behaviors and actions.
I encourage you – and empower you – to ask questions and speak up if you are ever unsure about the proper course of action. Honest, two-way communication is critical. None of us have all the answers. If you are ever unsure about the proper course of action, refer to the Code and seek guidance from your supervisor, your supervisor’s supervisor (and all the way up the reporting structure as necessary), Human Resources or a company Subject Matter Expert. You may also contact Compliance and Ethics or use the Compliance and Ethics Integrity Portal & Hotline. We will not tolerate any form of retaliation when you report suspected Code violations in good faith.
We all should know that as part of our global safety standards, all employees have stop work authority. If you believe unsafe conditions exist or you do not feel that you can conduct work safely, you not only have the authority to stop work, you also have a responsibility for the success of your team, the project and the company to take action. If you believe something violates the law or our ethical standards, or you feel pressure to compromise our ethical standards you must speak up. We have the responsibility to do what is right. The sooner we know about an issue, the sooner we can rally to fix it.
We are all on a mission to accomplish greatness. We have built an amazing track record and reputation at Fluor. It is based on best in class engineering and construction on projects across the globe. It’s also based on our reputation for integrity.
Every day we must actively make the choice to do what’s right: to speak up, to follow our Core Values, to be transparent and honest, and to hold ourselves and each other accountable. By working together to maintain these high standards, we will continue to deliver outstanding projects for our clients, make a positive impact in our communities and leave behind a legacy we can all be proud of.
Sincerely,
David E. Constable
Chairman and Chief Executive Officer
Fluor Corporation
