WE DO WHAT'S RIGHT
WE ALWAYS DO THE RIGHT THING FOR OUR CUSTOMERS, OUR PARTNERS, OUR INDUSTRY, AND OURSELVES.
Anti-Corruption
At Donaldson, we act with integrity, and we don't bribe. Bribery and other forms of corruption are strictly prohibited.
We never provide anything of value to commercial partners or government officials to gain or retain business, secure any business advantage, or otherwise influence any business decisions.
This policy also applies to anyone who represents Donaldson, including our consultants, partners, agents, contractors, and any other third parties.
"Anything of value" includes cash, cash equivalents (such as gift cards), charitable donations, loans, gifts, favors, entertainment, and opportunities.
A "government official" may be a government employee or an employee of a business that is owned or controlled by a government, such as a purchasing agent who works for a state-owned manufacturer. Government officials may also include politicians and those working for international organizations like the Red Cross.
INTEGRITY
COMMITMENT
RESPECT
INNOVATION
WE:
- Always comply with Donaldson's policies and procedures for gifts and entertainment
- Maintain accurate and complete records of all business expenses
- Never accept or return part of a sum already paid (commonly called a kickback) to secure business or influence a business decision
No business is worth the price of a bribe. Anti-corruption violations can carry significant penalties for both Donaldson and those individuals involved.
