Ethics and Business Conduct

Since our founding in 1870, Tennant Company has built its reputation on being an ethical and reliable partner in the marketplace. We are committed to ‘doing the right thing’ as we strive for the highest levels of corporate accountability. High ethical standards are a key part of what makes Tennant a great company.

Tennant's Business Ethics Guide is an important tool for all Tennant employees to use as a guidepost for their behaviour. The Guide applies to everyone at Tennant Company in every region of the world. Through our individual and collective efforts ensuring our actions are ethical, Tennant will remain the outstanding corporate citizen that it is today. This document deserves great attention. Please take the time to read and understand our Business Ethics Guide and policies.

It takes courage to raise an ethical or legal issue. Whether or not you are an employee, report your knowledge or suspicions of unethical conduct, including violations of our Business Ethics Guide and established codes of ethics and conduct for accounting, internal accounting controls, auditing and anti-corruption matters. Call the Tennant Ethics Hotline, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and a third party – independent of Tennant management – will accept reports of known or suspected unethical or illegal conduct.

Reports are treated confidentially in compliance with relevant legal obligations and guidelines. Although we do not discourage anonymous reporting, anonymous reports may be prohibited in some countries where Tennant operates, and we can perform a more thorough and complete investigation if we can obtain further information from the reporter. There will be no reprisals against any employee reporting a violation or suspected violation in good faith.
