The Rogers team is passionate about helping the world’s leading innovators solve their toughest material challenges to help power, protect, and connect our world. How we conduct our business is just as important as what we achieve. We strive for “Results, but Results the Right Way.” That means making choices that are based on what is ethically sound and not just what is easy or expedient.

We believe that corporate responsibility is a commitment to managing our activities in a responsible way from business ethics to health and safety to human rights. This is why we have spent a great deal of time developing the Rogers Corp. Corporate Responsibility hub and updating our Code of Business Ethics.

“Our corporate reputation is built on the trust and confidence of our employees, customers, stakeholders, and the communities in which we operate,” states Bruce Hoechner, CEO. “This trust is one of our most valuable assets. Our Code of Business Ethics explains what is expected of each of us at Rogers as we work to achieve our business goals. Compliance with this Code is mandatory and the cornerstone of our ethical culture that we reaffirm daily in our business activities.”

The Rogers Code of Business Ethics describes how our cultural behaviors are to be translated into concrete actions. It is organized around the following policies:

• Our cultural behaviors
• Fundamental principles
• Promoting product quality and safety
• Conducting research and development
• Protecting intellectual property
• Marketing our products
• Promoting equal opportunity and appropriate workplace behavior
• Preventing bribery and corruption
• Recognizing and avoiding conflicts of interest
• Gift giving and receiving
• Managing insider and confidential information
• Complying with competition and antitrust laws
• Promoting safety and health
• Protecting the environment
• Protecting company property and resources
• Maintaining records and making disclosures
• Financial reporting
• Working with suppliers and other third parties
• Protecting personal information
• Complying with trade controls
• Respecting human rights
• Questions to consider in everyday business activities

The Rogers Corporate Responsibility hub provides an inside look at the conscience of our company and how we operate around the world. Updating our Code of Business Ethics is the next step in an evolving commitment to demonstrate what we believe in at Rogers Corp. Stay tuned for more.
