Learn about the McAfee commitment to corporate responsibility.
Overview
Integrity and trust form the foundation of good corporate citizenship and frame McAfee’s relationships with customers, shareholders, employees, suppliers, and local communities. Through our adherence to ethical business practices, and through timely, accurate, and consistent financial reporting, we continually enhance shareholder value and maintain industry leadership in all aspects of corporate governance.
We are proud of the significant steps that McAfee has taken to create a culture of ethics and leadership in corporate governance. Beginning in 2001, we made systematic changes to our governance and business practices. We created Global Audit Services, an experienced team of auditors whose primary mission is to monitor internal controls throughout all business units and geographies. These essential checks and balances ensure that internal financial transactions are processed correctly, accurately, and on a timely basis. We provide transparent, timely, consistent, and credible information that complies with legal and regulatory requirements to the investing public.
A cornerstone of our commitment to corporate citizenship is the McAfee Ethics First program. This comprehensive plan provides employees at all levels with the tools and resources they need to make ethical decisions. It covers employee hiring and training, company communications, and regular audits to ensure that we are continually evaluating the effectiveness of our corporate policies.
McAfee’s anti-corruption and anti-bribery policies comply with federal laws and include a required compliance training course for all McAfee employees, as well as designated channel partners and distributors.
McAfee Ethics First enhances communication and promotes safety, security, and ethical behavior across our entire business. It consists of:
Our success is dependent on these enduring values, and no achievement is ever worth the expense of compromising ethical behavior. These values are also expressed in the McAfee Standards of Conduct.
As a key component of McAfee Ethics First, we offer an anonymous hotline for addressing suspected violations. EthicsPoint, a third-party vendor, hosts an online tool that allows employees, customers, distributors, resellers, and suppliers to share information in support of the McAfee Ethics First program.
