At GE, we challenge our spirit of innovation and dedication to integrity to produce benefits that extend beyond building our business and our bottom line. We must also address the difficult challenges that affect the many communities and people who are touched by our business.
That means we approach Citizenship with the same discipline, strategy and accountabilities that drive any part of our business. As we expand in India, we will be continually challenged to invest in a sustainable way that leverages our financial, technical and intellectual resources to the benefit of our investors, customers, employees and communities in India. Our goals are to make money (strong, sustained economic performance), make it ethically (rigorous compliance with financial and legal rules), and make a difference (ethical actions, beyond formal requirements, to advance GE’s reputation and long-term health).
GE has built and maintained our strong culture of integrity and compliance by remaining dedicated to our governance policies. Our ombudsperson process and integrity statement, The Spirit & The Letter, are two of the ways we keep open channels of communication and make clear our policies and expectations of employees.
