Our Values
Our values capture the essence of who we are and the spirit that drives our work performance. They form the foundation for the way we conduct our business, make decisions, and treat others. |

Ethical Conduct
We are committed to conducting business in an ethically and socially responsible manner. We expect all employees to fully comply with the 12 standards embodied in our Business Ethics Code of Conduct, which provides a framework for everything we do. |

Diversity
We consider a diverse workforce to be essential to our success as well as an important social responsibility. We are a company that values and respects all people for who they are, for their differing opinions and viewpoints, and for the way they do things. |

Environmental Stewardship
We believe that forward-looking, proper, and cost-effective
stewardship of our air, land, and water resources is key
to our long-term success. Our commitment is reflected
in our environmental
stewardship objectives that ensure that we conduct
our business in an environmentally responsible manner.

Community Involvement
We consider it our duty and privilege to invest our human
and capital resources in our communities because
we recognize that the health of those communities
is critical to our success. To fulfill this commitment,
we encourage and support employee community volunteerism
and sponsor a program that matches employee gifts
to non-profit community organizations. |

Safety
We are committed to ensuring the safety of our employees in the
workplace — and the safety of our neighbors in our communities. We
work hard to make sure our facilities are in order, procedures are accurate,
employees are trained, and attitudes are focused on safety. The ATK
Safety Policy and our record of very low workplace injury rates reflect our dedication
to workplace and community safety. |

Excellence
We are dedicated to excellence and continuous improvement in all
that we do, whether it involves developing technologies, manufacturing products,
or operating our business. A key strategy in our commitment to excellence
is utilizing Lean Six Sigma techniques not only in manufacturing but also
in all our business processes. |

Corporate Governance
We have always believed that effective corporate governance is critical to maintaining trust and credibility with our investors. Our corporate governance guidelines provide us with a framework for principled leadership, responsible decision-making, monitoring financial performance, and compliance with legal requirements. |
