The Importance Of Integrity

CMC’s Code of Conduct and Business Ethics (the Code) is the foundation for ethical behavior at our company. The Code provides guidance that is critical to our success in operating our business with integrity in all interactions with stakeholders, including fellow employees, customers, suppliers and business partners.

The Code’s guidance includes comprehensive information to enable compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in the countries where we operate. We require annual training to ensure that all employees understand their obligations under the Code. In 2025, 100% of required employees completed the training. In addition to the Code, our senior financial officers and the CEO have a Code of Ethics for Senior Financial Officers, which they must acknowledge and certify annually.
