At ADC, we believe that being a responsible corporate citizen is paramount to our success around the world. It’s how we conduct business. And it’s at the heart of our value proposition to our customers, partners, suppliers, shareowners and the communities where we do business.

Our approach to corporate responsibility is founded on The ADC Way, ADC’s company values statement that focuses on the Customer, Quality, Innovation, Teamwork and Integrity. Our global workforce maintains an extraordinary commitment to this core set of values, distinguishing ADC from other companies by making it clear that how we conduct business is integrated into our overall strategy.

ADC recognizes the critical importance of doing business the right way day in and day out . . .

• Our business and governing practices are subject to a Code of Business Conduct that requires business to be conducted in an ethical and legal manner at every company location worldwide.
• In tandem with the ADC Foundation, we design, manage and fund a diverse range of community-focused activities through charitable grantmaking, employee volunteerism and corporate community relations.
• We place the highest priority on environmental stewardship and compliance, maintaining a long history of compliance with U.S. and international environmental, health and safety laws and requirements. Our strong commitment to sustainability is backed by comprehensive policies and sound business practices that help protect and preserve the environment.
• We recognize that our business performance is bolstered by tapping into the expertise and creativity of all ADC partners and suppliers. To this end, we are dedicated to working with businesses owned and operated by ethnic minorities, women and disabled veterans.

Since 1935, ADC employees have created a company not only known for quality products and services but also for a commitment to our guiding values. These values continue to serve as our operational foundation, drive stakeholder value and enable excellent performance. Day in and day out, corporate responsibility is The ADC Way of doing business.
