Values & Community Reputation
“As we drive for top performance, each of us must also uphold the values and reputation for integrity that we have worked to build and maintain. Superior results must be achieved with absolute integrity. This is not an “either-or” proposition.”
Wes Bush, CEO and President
Doing what is right because it is the right thing to do is the foundation of Northrop Grumman’s business culture. The reputation that our company has earned for high legal and ethical standards is one of our greatest business assets. Our goal has never been solely to comply with the law, but to abide by the highest principles of integrity and concern for others.
We strive to conduct business in ways that reflect our Standards of Business Conduct – collectively as a company and as individual employees within the company. Through communications and training, we continually link individuals, including business associates, to our Vision, Values and Behaviors. We must not sacrifice our integrity to achieve business objectives.
Our sense of ethics and doing what is right are the cornerstones of Northrop Grumman’s exemplary reputation. They allow us to gain respect and support within our communities, help provide a competitive advantage in the marketplace, and attract and retain individuals who not only demonstrate, but also demand high standards of business conduct.
Northrop Grumman employees make this belief a priority. The company values are listed on the back of every employee’s badge – Quality, Customer Satisfaction, Leadership, Integrity, People, Suppliers. Integrity must characterize everything we do. We want everyone who comes in contact with us to know that we do things the right way at Northrop Grumman.
The Northrop Grumman OpenLine is available to anyone affiliated with Northrop Grumman. Individuals can seek guidance or report a suspected violation of our Standards of Business Conduct. It is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Since the 1930s, our company has been recognized for technical innovation and achievement, and our commitment to our employees, our customers and the communities in which we live and work. As we continue to grow and evolve, the responsibility we feel to serve our communities and help those in need grows with us. We maintain a strong commitment to programs that improve education and human services, promote cultural awareness and diversity, and support our troops and veterans.
