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, salesoffice and headquarters staff group serve as facilitators of the Ethics and ComplianceProgram in their areas. We can consult our Ethics and Compliance Managers regardingcompliance resources and guidance for resolving specific compliance-relatedquestions. Issues that cannot be resolved by the Ethics and Compliance Managershould be referred to the United States Steel Compliance Officer or a member of theEthics and Compliance Group in the Law Department.TrainingIn-person presentations provide in-depth training and discussion on a wide variety ofethics and compliance topics. Our Ethics and Compliance Managers are responsiblefor arranging these presentations for their areas of responsibility. In addition, the Ethicsand Compliance Group periodically launches web-based training on specific ethicsand compliance issues. If you believe that your area needs a particular compliancepresentation, please contact your Ethics and Compliance Manager.You can find links to all of these resources on the Ethics and Compliance home page onthe U. S. Steel intranet.I believe thoroughly in publicity. Thesurest and wisest of all regulation ispublic opinion.If we are to succeed in business, we mustdo it on principles that are honest, fair,lawful and just.We must put and keep ourselves on aplatform so fair, so high, so reasonable,that we will attract the attention and inviteand secure the approval of all who knowwhat we are doing.We do not advocate combinations oragreements in restraint of trade, nor actionof any kind which is opposed to the lawsor to the public welfare.AdministrationUnited States Steel’s Compliance Officer, supported by the Ethics and ComplianceGroup in the Law Department, administers this Code of Ethical Business Conduct.The Code provides general principles to guide employees in making ethical decisionsand is not intended to address every possible situation.
