Berwind is committed to conducting business in accordance with the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and legal compliance. Our ethical framework is supported by robust policies, including our Code of Business Conduct, Global Anti-Corruption Policy, and Anti-Harassment Policy. Through regular training, internal audits, and accessible reporting mechanisms, we foster a culture of ethical awareness and empower our employees to act with integrity and speak up about concerns without fear of retaliation.

At Berwind, ethical conduct and legal compliance are not just obligations — they are core commitments that guide our decisions, shape our culture, and build trust with our stakeholders.

People & Planet

At Berwind, we strive to make a positive impact on people and our planet. We prioritize the well-being and development of our employees by offering competitive compensation and benefits, promoting work-life balance, fostering talent through a robust succession planning process, and ensuring a safe and healthy workplace. We actively seek employee feedback through our biannual “Voice of Associates” (VOA) Survey, developing improvement initiatives after each survey.

Berwind is committed to minimizing the adverse impact of our operations on the planet. Our operating companies have sustainability initiatives and objectives related to energy consumption, emissions, water usage, and waste. We regularly bring the executives leading those initiatives together to share best practices. We understand Berwind operates within a broader community.
