<strong>Atkins</strong> <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Conduct</strong><br />
Building for the Future:<br />
Our Values, Principles, and Standards<br />
The compass is commonly thought <strong>of</strong> as a device used to determine geographic direction.<br />
For <strong>Atkins</strong>, the compass represents the corporation’s ethics and compliance program.<br />
It symbolizes <strong>Atkins</strong>’ commitment to its <strong>Code</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Conduct</strong> and the values, principles, and standards<br />
that provide direction for our employees in an increasingly complex business environment.<br />
We all face ethical dilemmas in our pr<strong>of</strong>essional decisions and actions. The solutions are not always easy, but we do have<br />
choices—and when we have questions, we can make integrity the compass that guides everything we do.<br />
A Message to all Employees from our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer<br />
As part <strong>of</strong> <strong>Atkins</strong>, we all have a responsibility to do what is right and to comply with the law. Our code <strong>of</strong> conduct for<br />
business ethics and compliance, Building for the Future: Our Values, Principles, and Standards, provides the<br />
guidelines to help us do that.<br />
Every employee <strong>of</strong> <strong>Atkins</strong> is required to behave in a manner that is consistent with the standards set forth in the code.<br />
ºIf you do not understand something, you must seek counsel from your immediate supervisor, another<br />
manager or supervisor, our Chief <strong>Ethics</strong> and Compliance Officer, or other company resources in Legal,<br />
Finance, or Human Resources. If an ethical dilemma or concern comes to your attention, it is your responsibility to let<br />
us know.<br />
How we conduct our business is every bit as important as what we do. We have worked hard to build and<br />
enhance our reputation, and I thank you for everything you have done to help us achieve that. Those we serve and partner<br />
with in the marketplace, as well as the communities where we live and work, have come to trust that we at <strong>Atkins</strong> will<br />
“do the right thing.” Maintaining that trust is crucial to our continued success.<br />
I am confident that each one <strong>of</strong> you will follow the letter and the spirit <strong>of</strong> this code and help our company secure its<br />
bright future.<br />
Regards,<br />
L. Dean Fox
