Governance, Ethics and Integrity

We are committed to the highest level of ethical conduct every day at all of our 70+ facilities around the world.

We are leading with integrity

We are committed to the highest level of ethical conduct every day at all of our 70+ facilities around the world. Driven by the oversight of the Board of Directors and the Brady leadership team, the tone at the top of the organization prioritizes ethical conduct in every aspect of our business.

It is a priority for Brady’s Board of Directors and leadership team to advance ESG and align with a philosophy that continues to promote, implement and sustain these programs within the company.

Go into greater detail on Brady’s sustainability efforts by reading our 2023 ESG Report.

Business Ethics and integrity

The Brady Code of Ethics (“Code”) is the foundation of our global commitment to ethical and legal requirements, and is reviewed annually by the Board of Directors. The Code applies to all Brady employees, officers and members of the Board of Directors. We also expect our suppliers, sales agents, consultants, representatives, independent contractors and other professional service providers to observe the same standards of conduct and business ethics when conducting business with or for Brady.

Ethics hotline and reporting

Employees are encouraged and expected to immediately report all potential unethical conduct. Any potential violations of our Code of Ethics, company policy or the law should be reported by our employees through one of the following channels:

Their direct manager or local human resources representative
Any manager senior to their manager in their manager’s reporting structure
Brady’s General Counsel by phone at (414) 358-6608
The Internal Audit Department
The Ethics Hotline by phone at (877) 781-9309 or by email through www.bradyethics.com or by QR code

An independent third party administers our Ethics Hotline, which is available globally 24 hours per day, seven days per week and allows callers to confidentially raise an ethics or compliance concern. The Director of Internal Audit and Brady’s legal team are automatically notified when a new claim is submitted to the hotline. The Internal Audit Director is responsible for responding, reviewing and investigating claims reported through the Ethics Hotline. Quarterly, the Internal Audit Director informs the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the claims that have been reported through the Ethics Hotline or from any other sources.

Political contributions

As stated in our Code of Ethics, Brady has a policy against making contributions to political candidates or campaigns. The code also states that employees are prohibited from using Company property, facilities, time or funds for political campaigns. The Brady Foundation also states in its bylaws that it may not make contributions to political candidates or campaigns.

It is management’s responsibility to manage risk.

Cybersecurity

Brady regularly assesses risks in areas including legal, regulatory, marketplace, technology, and external security threats. In our continuous improvement efforts, we seek opportunities to identify, analyze, and mitigate those risks.

Central to our approach is our risk framework, which provides the insight, controls, and technology we need to anticipate and proactively address risks. Our cybersecurity framework serves as the foundation for safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of information assets. The comprehensive framework fulfills regulatory, operational, and contractual requirements. Our practices include regular internal and external audits, vulnerability assessments, penetration testing, and measures to monitor and respond to cybersecurity incidents.

Data Privacy

Brady and its subsidiaries recognize and respect the privacy rights of individuals (data subjects) concerning any personally identifiable information (PII) that Brady collects, processes, or maintains, and we give control over that PII to the data subject. We specifically look to the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), as well as the California privacy regulations known as CCPA and CPRA, for guidance.
