Code Of Ethics
The Marmot Code of Ethics applies to every employee, executive officer, agent, representative, consultant, and intern of Marmot Mountain LLC. It directs the conduct between any employee and our customers, distributors, competitors, vendors, and contractors. Every Marmot employee is required to read, understand, acknowledge, and operate within the Marmot Code of Ethics. This Code does not give any employee rights of any kind and may be changed at any time. Adherence to the Marmot Code of Ethics is a condition of continued employment.
Since its inception in 1974, Marmot has been a values-based company. Our values have molded the shape of our company, the character of our products, and the conduct of our employees. Our ethics are founded on the values of:
Integrity: Our business is shaped by the choices we each make. The everyday choices we make in our business lives should first promote honesty, fairness, trust, confidentiality, and transparency. These qualities are the foundation of our relationships with our customers, our communities, our stakeholders and each other. Simply stated, we will do the right thing.
Respect for the individual: Our strength lies in our diversity, respect and inclusion. We champion and thrive on our differences and celebrate our ability to progress and realize our full potential as individuals within our Marmot workplace, without harassment, intimidation, retaliation, or discrimination.
Sustainability: We will not have a business in the future unless we make choices every day that sustain it. In the array of those daily choices, we will make those that better insure our continued business success, promote our value of the individual, and reduce our impact on our environment.
Our environmental ethic is founded on a deliberate practice of reduction. While we will recycle and reuse at every opportunity up and down our supply chain, it is our primary goal to consciously reduce our negative impact on the environment in every venue where we can exert control. We act to reduce that impact in small, measured steps at every stage of our business, from design to material and process selection to production to sales and marketing to distribution, always without compromising the performance, durability or quality of our products.
Performance Excellence: We pride ourselves in the refined aesthetic, craftsmanship and utility of our products. We achieve excellence in our products by demanding the highest standard of excellence of ourselves and by consistently meeting or exceeding the expectations of our customers.
Accountability: We each take responsibility for our actions as individuals, as team members and as a community. This means we respond honestly and in a timely manner to inquiries, complaints and questions. We work actively to be fair to and support each other. We count on each other. We ask. We do what we say we are going to do.
