TriMas was founded more than three decades ago with several of our businesses’ origins dating back even farther. Throughout our history, we recognize that our positive contributions in the communities where we operate around the world have contributed to our continued long-term success and benefit society as a whole. TriMas’ focus on Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) is a core part of how we do business globally, and is an integral part of our policies, practices and business processes.
With the implementation of the TriMas Business Model (TBM), we reinforced our commitment to employee safety and health, as well as environmentally-friendly practices. Our management reporting model leads with safety key performance indicators (KPIs), and we launched an annual recognition program to honor the best performing Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) facilities globally. Moreover, we champion a philosophy of continuous improvement as part of our TBM, so by applying this culture and approach to EHS, we strive to make the communities where we operate a better place.
Additionally, all members of TriMas and our family of businesses are required to adhere to our Code of Conduct, which may be found on our website under the “Investors” section. Our Code governs how we operate our facilities, interact with each other and transact business globally. In addition to our commitment to EHS, operating our businesses with integrity is core to our success and continued longevity. We believe that a commitment to honesty, respect and ethics is a valuable asset that builds trust with all of our stakeholders.
We are also dedicated to fostering a culture based on dignity, respect and empowering employees to achieve their full potential in the workplace, regardless of any differences in gender, age, ethnic background, culture, religion, sexual orientation, physical ability or personal opinions. We embrace new ideas as ways to improve our business. Inclusion, respect, acceptance and learning are values that bring our team together and make us better.
In addition, our innovative teams around the world are always seeking ways to develop more sustainable products or process solutions for our customers. We have deep customer relationships, a global and flexible manufacturing footprint, leading technology innovations and socially responsible practices. Our company’s foundation has been built on our ability to work with our customers and create innovative products that creatively solve their needs, while supporting their strategies and sustainability goals.
As I reflect on our past and look to our future, I believe TriMas is better positioned than ever to create value for our employees, our customers, our shareholders and the communities where we live and operate. We will continue to strengthen our commitment to sustainability, making it an even more integral part of our operating culture. Thank you for your interest in TriMas, and thank you to TriMas’ dedicated team who live and support our values and culture every day.
