Ethics and Compliance

Commitment to Integrity

A reputation for honesty and integrity is an important asset. The ethical conduct of our business, coupled with our compliance with both the spirit and letter of the laws and regulations that govern our operations, builds trust and respect. When we set our standards high, we improve the way we manage our business, develop a reputation for integrity, and foster confidence for ourselves, our shareholders, our customers, our suppliers and the communities in which we operate. All this isessentialto our success.

To keep us on a path that aligns with these values, we have developed BWX Technologies, Inc. (BWXT) Standards. These standards are described in our Code of Business Conduct, our policies and procedures and other operating manuals. 

Each of the elements of the BWXT Standards is important. Our Code of Business Conduct describes the ethical principles that govern all of our business operations. Our policies and procedures provide administrative, operational, and compliance guidance and directives to help guide and govern the activities and operations of all company employees. Our Anti-Corruption and Anti-Bribery Compliance Manual, for example, provides a system to detect and prevent violations of the Code of Business Conduct, our policies, and the laws and regulations that govern our business. 

In today’s world, the line between right and wrong is not always clearly defined. The BWXT Standards are a valuable tool, and they underscore the high ethical values we have set and by which we operate.
