GOVERNANCE / GLOBAL ETHICS & COMPLIANCE Our Integrity Manual Our culture of integrity is put into action every day by our 69,000 global employees. Our Integrity Manual (our code of ethics) represents how we translate our integrity into action. Our Integrity Manual is intentionally designed with two sections: a cultural section and a principles section. The cultural section describes our values, while the principles section translates our integrity value into everyday actions. Whirlpool Corporation’s commitment to integrity begins with its leadership. All of Whirlpool Corporation’s top leaders globally attended training in which they reviewed and committed to action Our Integrity Manual. In turn, these leaders actively led similar training, in which nearly three quarters of our global employees participated. This commitment demonstrated our belief that how we achieve our goals is just as important as what we accomplish. Each year these same leaders, and all leaders, also complete an annual training on all of the principles in Our Integrity Manual and participate in Global Integrity Week. These training sessions emphasize to our employees that Our Integrity Manual is a resource for them to be empowered to lead and win with integrity every day, including tools, such as a decision tree, to use when faced with an ethical question. As a tool to better support our employees globally, Whirlpool Corporation launched the Digital Integrity Manual in 2020. This interactive and practical tool further helps apply Whirlpool Corporation’s values to employees’ needs in their day-to-day work.
