COBC - Code of Business Conduct - Halliburton

Message from the President
Dear Colleagues,
For nearly a century, Halliburton employees have worked tirelessly to deliver
outstanding products, services and solutions to our customers. This hard work has
yielded consistent, long-term success. We continue to gain new customers and to
also expand relationships with existing customers. We are developing some of the
industry’s most advanced technological solutions. In all corners of the world and in
every corner of the Company, we have repeatedly and resoundingly prevailed over
our competition. I appreciate and applaud those efforts, and I am proud of
our accomplishments.
David Lesar
Chairman of the Board, President
and Chief Executive Officer
My deepest pride, however, comes from the way we achieve our goals. We succeed
with uncompromising integrity. When we face difficult decisions during the course
of our work, we choose the ethical course of action. Honesty, fairness and respect
are not sacrificed in pursuit of profits.
The Halliburton Board of Directors and the senior management team are
committed to our Company’s core values, and we expect that same commitment
from every employee. Ethical behavior; technology innovation; health, safety and
environmental leadership; service quality – these values have defined Halliburton
since the founding of the Company. If we realize our vision of being the preferred
upstream service company for the development of global oil and gas assets, we must
remain faithful to these essential ideals.
To ensure that we all understand the requirements set forth in the Code of Business
Conduct and can commit to it with complete confidence, we have updated its look
and language. It clearly outlines the guiding principles that can help us make the
right decisions when confronted with challenging circumstances. Please read it
carefully and refer back to it as needed.
We are all accountable for upholding and abiding by the Code of Business Conduct.
It applies equally to all employees, directors and officers of the Company, and to all
third parties that conduct business on behalf of Halliburton. If you see or suspect
that unethical behavior has occurred, you are obligated to come forward with your
concerns. Contact your supervisor. Call the Ethics Helpline. Above all, do not
abandon your responsibility because of fear. We will not tolerate retaliation against
anyone who raises issues in good faith.
Ours is the best global team in the industry. Take pride in the accomplishments
and the stature of our Company. In every decision you face, make integrity your
highest priority, and demand the same from those around you.
Thank you for doing what it takes to maintain the Halliburton legacy of success
and integrity.
