Our success is only possible with the hard work of our global team and their commitment to upholding our core values of Safety, Environment, and Quality (“SEQ”). These values focus our attention on a core mission for GrafTech: providing a safe work environment for all employees, environmental stewardship, and delivering superior product quality. As a company, we are committed to unyielding integrity and to ensuring the success of future generations of employees, customers, stockholders, and communities. At GrafTech, ethical conduct is a fundamental principle, synonymous with business success and essential for carrying out all business objectives. Our Code of Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) serves as the foundation for these values and guides our team in making thoughtful and well-informed decisions. The Code applies to employees, directors, and officers of GrafTech, and the Board reviews the Code annually as part of its regular review of our corporate governance practices. At GrafTech, we understand that graphite electrode manufacturing processes have an impact on the communities in which we operate and their surrounding environment. Simultaneously, we recognize that our operations and the long-term success of our business depends on our ability to reduce our environmental footprint.
