At Atmus, doing the right thing is fundamental to how we operate. Our governance principles, ethical standards and risk-management practices guide responsible decision-making across our business. Together, they help us protect the interests of our employees, customers, investors, business partners and communities while earning the trust of those who depend on us.

Strong governance starts at the top

Our Board of Directors oversees Atmus’ policies, strategy and performance and holds ultimate responsibility for our sustainability ambitions and commitments. Seven of our eight directors are independent, bringing a range of knowledge, perspectives and experience to their oversight of the company. 

We also listen and respond to our stakeholders. Following stockholder feedback, governance amendments approved in 2025 will fully declassify the Board by 2028 and replaced certain supermajority voting requirements with a simple-majority standard. These changes strengthen accountability and give stockholders a more direct voice in our governance. 

Turning ethical expectations into everyday action

Our Code of Conduct defines the standards expected of employees, directors and business partners. It addresses integrity and accountability throughout our operations, including conflicts of interest, confidentiality, legal compliance, honesty, fairness and respect. Supporting policies cover areas such as anti-bribery, fraud reporting, human rights, health, safety and environmental responsibility. 

We reinforce these expectations through an Ethics and Compliance Learning Program that combines web-based, on-site and role-specific education. New employees complete training on key topics such as workplace conduct, financial crime prevention, conflicts of interest, data privacy, reporting and non-retaliation. Existing employees complete annual Code of Conduct training. 

Empowering people to speak up

Integrity requires an environment where people feel safe raising questions and concerns. Our independently operated Ethics Line is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week and allows anonymous reporting where permitted by law. Every concern is reviewed and handled discreetly and respectfully, and Atmus prohibits retaliation against anyone who raises a concern in good faith or participates in an investigation. 

Managing risk responsibly

Our Enterprise Risk Management program helps identify, evaluate and mitigate risks across areas including operations, finance, legal and regulatory compliance, cybersecurity, strategy and reputation. Significant risks are assigned to senior leaders, with the Board and its committees receiving updates on mitigation plans and progress. 

Through clear expectations, strong oversight and the courage to speak up, we’re building a culture in which integrity and accountability shape every decision.
