2021 Owens Corning Sustainability Report | Expanding Our Social Handprint | Human Rights & Ethics | 280 SPEAKING OF SUSTAINABILITY As an attorney and an MBA, Angela Carter recognizes the many ways that law and business interact. In her role as director of compliance for Owens Corning, Angela is dedicated to helping employees know what is expected of them as we strive to be an ethical corporation. To help with this, Owens Corning has established a companywide Code of Conduct, which was revised this year under Angela’s supervision. Here, she discusses how these revisions will make it even easier for employees to adhere to our ethical policies, as well as the personal satisfaction that comes from ensuring that Owens Corning remains an exemplary corporate citizen. Photo courtesy of Angela Carter On the benefits of our revised Code of Conduct The Code of Conduct was originally published in 2012, and in ten years, we have learned so much. We’ve taken all those learnings and modernized our code. We had a great code to begin with, but we took the opportunity to really think as a global company. We have a larger presence in areas of the world that we didn’t have before. We have many more employees outside of the United States, so we really wanted to make this code reflect the growth of our company and the diversity of our company. When I look at it, it makes me so proud because in writing the code, it was telling Owens Corning’s story. This is who we are. This is what we stand for and it’s exciting. I’m very proud of the team that put it together, but also proud of the employees that we got to tell the story for. On the importance of listening to our employees Probably the thing I love most is just learning from people. And that requires talking to them, understanding why they’re passionate about the work that they do. With the company policies, we have a need to make sure that everybody’s doing something a certain way, so we create standards, we create procedures, and we need someone who can step in and help to say, here’s that consistent process. A lot of what my team does is teaching and training. So, what I really enjoy is just learning — talking to people, understanding what they do and why they do it, and then just giving them the tools, giving them the information to help them do their jobs in a way that’s compliant and consistent with the law. On the example set by Owens Corning’s leadership I am always delighted by the support that we get from our leadership. We are not only inspired, but we’re challenged by our leadership to make sure that we are connecting into the business, to understand the business and that the solutions that we provide are sensitive to the business. And they’re open in their support. They share things with myself and my team. They give us access to other leaders. They kind of points in the direction of where we need to go. And that’s critical — if they didn’t believe it and if it wasn’t important to them, then it would be really hard to do my job. I enjoy talking to people, understanding what they do, and giving them the tools to help them do their jobs in a way that’s compliant and consistent with the law. ” “ Angela Carter Director of Compliance
