The Gary PrinciplesI believe that when a thing is right, it willultimately and permanently succeed.The highest rewards come from honestand proper practice. Bad results comein the long run from selfish, unfair anddishonest conduct.I believe in competition…that the raceshould be won by the swiftest, and thatsuccess should come to him who is mostearnest and active and persevering.I believe that no industry can permanentlysucceed that does not treat its employeesequitably and humanely.Ethics and Compliance ManagersEthics and Compliance Managers at each operating facility, business unit, sales<strong>of</strong>fice and headquarters staff group serve as facilitators <strong>of</strong> the Ethics and ComplianceProgram in their areas. We can consult our Ethics and Compliance Managers regardingcompliance resources and guidance for resolving specific compliance-relatedquestions.
