We put Integrity in action when…

We Are Fair, Honest and Open In Our Communications

We communicate with each other in a respectful, fair, honest and open manner. We keep investors, creditors, securities trading markets, employees, dealers, distributors, suppliers and the general public informed on a timely basis through the public release of relevant and understandable financial and other information about our company. In releasing information about Caterpillar, we make every effort to ensure that full disclosure is made to everyone without preference or favoritism to any individual or group. We respond to public inquiries -- including those from the news media, governments and others -- with prompt, courteous, honest answers through members of our executive leadership and employees who are authorized to speak publicly on behalf of Caterpillar.
