E. WASTE MANAGEMENT CORPORATE ETHICS <br /> The 62,000 worldwide employees within the Waste Management family of companies <br /> practice and adhere to an encompassing and substantial commitment to ethics. <br /> This commitment starts with Waste Management's hiring practices. Waste <br /> Management's non-discrimination policy for minorities, veterans, and the disabled is <br /> unsurpassed in the environmental services field. <br /> Every Group and Division office of Waste Management tracks and coordinates <br /> preferential hiring practices for these identified groups. <br /> Every employee hired by Waste Management receives both written material and <br /> training on codes of conduct, ethical standards and compliance with environmental and <br /> regulatory laws. <br /> 1. Waste Management Environmental Ethics <br /> Waste Management has adopted an expanded version of the Valdez Principles <br /> within it's own field of environmental services. <br /> Commitment to compliance, support for bio-diversity and resource <br /> conservation, and an externally-reviewed annual environmental report card are just <br /> a few of the adopted principles. (See Appendix D for complete listing). <br /> Waste Management's corporate structure, with it's own internal environmental <br /> compliance department, results in a system of checks and balances to help the <br /> company to accomplish its stated goal of "100% compliance". All Waste <br /> Management Division Presidents are audited annually for compliance with <br /> regulatory law, environmental, health and safety standards and internal company <br /> policies including the company's policy on ethics. <br /> 32 <br />
