Governance Overview

We apply governance best practices to ensure that our Sustainability Program has a strong foundation. This foundation includes our formal policies, manufacturing site sustainability teams, and a central software application to manage and audit our global environmental data.

In our current business environment where ethical dilemmas can be increasingly complex, our Ethics and Compliance program supports our employees with clear policies and procedures that establish our expectations for ethical behavior. We further provide employees with the necessary tools through training and communication that bring policies to life through stories, behavior modeling, and engaging employees to think critically about how each individual can contribute to our company’s commitment to integrity and a values-based culture.

As a global company with operations across more than 20 countries, we take a firm stand against bribery and corruption. Our Anti-Bribery Policy has a strict prohibition on bribery, limits the provision or acceptance of items of value to or from third parties, requires legal department authorization to engage with government officials, and outlines due diligence and approval requirements for representatives who conduct business on behalf of Littelfuse. We also require contractual provisions in our commercial agreements that place anti-bribery compliance obligations on our third-party partners.

Integrity is the foundation on which we build our reputation, and we are committed to continuously earning a stellar reputation through maintaining the trust of our key stakeholders. Addressing cybersecurity risks and protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we have been entrusted with is important to build trust with our employees, applicants, suppliers, customers, and other business contacts.

We are committed to processing all personal data in accordance with applicable laws and in alignment with the seven key principles within the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). All requests for access, deletion, and inquiries from regulatory authorities are managed by our designated Privacy Contacts who have received additional training on data protection compliance and who ensure the requirements of our Privacy Policy are adhered to consistently.

We strive to operate a sustainable global supply chain to minimize our environmental impact while responsibly sourcing materials in an ethical manner that supports human rights. By implementing these sustainable practices throughout our supply chain, we aim to create long term value for our stakeholders and benefit the communities where we live, work, and operate.
