Our Integrity Manual

Our culture of integrity is put into action every day by our 77,000 global employees. Our code of ethics, which was enhanced and renamed Our Integrity Manual, represents how we translate our integrity into action.

Our Integrity Manual is intentionally designed into two sections: a cultural section and a principles section. The cultural section describes our values, while the principles section translates our integrity value into everyday actions.

Whirlpool Corporation’s commitment to integrity begins with its leadership. All of Whirlpool’s top leaders globally attended training in which they reviewed and committed to action all of these principles. In turn, these leaders actively led similar training, in which nearly three quarters of our 77,000 employees participated. This commitment set the tone for our belief that how we achieve our goals is just as important as what we accomplish.

The Integrity Manual Training Sessions emphasized that Our Integrity Manual is a resource for them to be empowered to lead and win with integrity every day, including tools, such as a decision tree when faced with an ethical question.
