Protection of Assets

We put Commitment in action when…

We Protect Our Hard Assets, Our Brands and Our Other Intellectual Property

We go to extraordinary lengths to preserve, protect, and responsibly use all of our assets. This includes tangible as well as intangible assets, such as our brands, technology, business information and intellectual capital. We will not make unauthorized disclosure of trade secrets or other sensitive information belonging to the company, our customers, dealers or suppliers -- either during employment by our company or thereafter. When sharing company information with others, we ensure appropriate controls are in place to protect our interests. While we may hire individuals who have knowledge and experience in various technical areas, we do not employ people as a means of gaining access to trade secrets and sensitive information of others. We have a personal responsibility to use every appropriate means to safeguard our company's assets from loss, theft, damage or misuse.
