Code of Conduct

We’re Living the Code – Every Day 

Good ethics is good business. Honesty and integrity are non-negotiable. At Maritz, our business relies on good choices and upholding our values – making our commitment to “Live the Code” critical to success. 

The Maritz Global Code of Conduct outlines what it means to be a Maritz employee – regardless of business position or geographical location – and what Maritz considers ethical and responsible business. It is a resource for understanding and adhering to our high ethical standards and for building and maintaining professional relationships with each other, our clients and our suppliers. This Code of Conduct serves as a guide for all employees on how to conduct business every day – fairly, openly, objectively and free of hidden personal gains.  

Our Community

Maritz empowers people to reach their full potential and ensures a bright future for generations to come. We strive to positively impact the communities in which we live and work. Because of our primary focus on the development of people, we choose to align our corporate giving programs with philanthropic partners that deliver educational programs. Our people personally support our partner organizations by volunteering their personal talents and professional skill sets to help our partners achieve their goals.  

Maritz is also committed to sustainability and green efforts. And it’s not just something we do – it’s our shared responsibility and one we don’t take lightly. Environmental strategy for us is about working to improve our business practices and the solutions we offer to deliver greater good for people and the planet. This includes a strong emphasis on recycling, the use of electronic business communications where possible and many campus-specific initiatives at our headquarters location in Fenton, Missouri.
