TI notes a statement emphasising ethics and integrity is published in the introduction to the Code of Conduct. However, this statement was last published in 2011 and does not directly relate to anti-corruption. TI notes: Code of Business Conduct (2011), p.1: Letter from CEO As Honeywell continues to grow, we must stay focused on our expectations and commitment to integrity and Honeywell s Twelve Behaviors. Our Code of Business Conduct is a roadmap to help you navigate the operating environments in our four businesses, which include some of the most dynamic sectors of the global economy. We have great positions in good industries, and we have a responsibility to conduct ourselves with the highest levels of integrity in every aspect of everything we do. Our integrity helps ensure that we continue to sustain the credibility of our brand, maintain our strong reputation, and build on our track record of growth and performance. I m counting on you to uphold our continued commitment to integrity at Honeywell.

The company provides some explanation of these values, referencing transparency, trust and openness. The company therefore scores 1. To score higher the company would need to explain in greater detail why these values matter to the organisation and how they are translated into company policies. Code of Business Conduct (2011), p.1: As Honeywell continues to grow, we must stay focused on our expectations and commitment to integrity and Honeywell s Twelve Behaviors. Our Code of Business Conduct is a roadmap to help you navigate the operating environments in our four businesses, which include some of the most dynamic sectors of the global economy. We have great positions in good industries, and we have a responsibility to conduct ourselves with the highest levels of integrity in every aspect of everything we do.

Code of Business Conduct (2011), p.42: Lobbying activities are highly regulated. Therefore, we may not make any contacts with government officials in an attempt to influence legislation, regulation, policy or other governmental actions on Honeywell s behalf without authorization from the Government Relations function. Company Website: Company Website: Investors Relations - Political Contributions Management and Board Oversight of Lobbying Activities. The law department oversees our lobbying activities. The Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations reports to the General Counsel and also works closely with the Vice President, Global Compliance whose organization ensures compliance with our political spending policy. The General Counsel, Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations and Vice President, Global Compliance meet regularly with the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and his leadership team about legislative, regulatory and political developments. With respect to Board of Directors oversight, our public policy efforts, including all lobbying activities, political contributions and payments to trade associations and other tax-exempt organizations, is the responsibility of the Corporate Governance and Responsibility Committee (CGRC), which consists entirely of independent, non-employee directors. Each year the CGRC receives an annual report on the Company's policies and practices regarding political contributions. The CGRC's oversight of our political activities ensures compliance

42 with applicable law and alignment with our policies and our Code of Business Conduct. In addition, each year the Senior Vice President, Global Government Relations reports to the full Board of Directors on our global lobbying and government relations program. In December 2012, as disclosed in our publicly available filings required under the Lobbying Disclosure Act, we contributed $1 million to the Fix the Debt Coalition, a non-partisan 501(c)(4) organization which seeks to educate and mobilize Americans on the need for a comprehensive plan to fix the United States' long-term debt and deficits but have made no further contributions. TI notes that the company website additionally contains extremely detailed information and rationale on the company s policies of lobbying and how they are regulated

43 A25(a): Does the company prohibit charitable contributions, or regulate such contributions in order to prevent undue influence or other corrupt intent? 1 Based on public information, there is evidence that the company has a clear policy to regulate charitable contributions. However, it is not clear that the company publicly declares such contributions. The company therefore scores 1. Code of Business Conduct (2011), p.42: 'Making Political and Charitable Contributions Our Company understands the many ways in which the political process enriches our communities. ( ) However, when we participate in such activities, we should do so on our own time, at our own expense and ensure that our activities do not conflict with the Code. We should not use Honeywell property for personal political activities. In addition, we should never engage in any political activities on Honeywell s behalf, unless authorized by the Government Relations function. Never coerce a coworker, especially those with whom you have a reporting relationship, to support your particular causes. As interested citizens, Honeywell employees are free to make individual personal contributions to candidates of their choice. Employees who are U.S. citizens or who are U.S.- based permanent residents are eligible to participate in the Honeywell International Political Action Committee (HIPAC) provided they meet certain legal requirements. To determine if you are eligible to participate in the HIPAC, contact the Honeywell Government Relations Department or the general counsel of your business unit. Company Website: Investors Relations Political Contribution With respect to tax-exempt organizations, such as 501(c)(4)s, where funds may be used for political purposes, we have made only one contribution since TI notes that the company website also contains extremely detailed information and rationale on the company s policies on charitable contributions and how they are regulated.

44 A26: Does the company provide written guidance to help Board members and employees understand and implement the firm s ethics and anti-corruption agenda? 2 Based on public information, there is evidence that the company provides written guidance to help Board members and employees understand and implement the firm s ethics and anti-corruption agenda. The Code of Conduct contains example cases to explain particular situations and ensure employees better understand the company s policies towards anticorruption. Code of Business Conduct (2011), p.16: Integrity in Action Q: Barry has received an invitation to a holiday party hosted by one of our suppliers. He works closely with this supplier and would love to attend, since the party is sure to include fine wine and gourmet dishes. May Barry accept the invitation? A: Barry should consult with his supervisor or the Law Department to determine whether it is appropriate to attend. Factors to consider include the cost of the meal, whether the supplier is actively bidding on Honeywell work, whether Barry is involved in the Honeywell procurement decision-making process and whether there are other business related reasons to go to the dinner p.18): Integrity in Action Q: At an offsite meeting, a vendor who has been providing services to Honeywell for several months invites Denisha to lunch. She accepts, allowing the vendor to pay for the meal. Are her actions acceptable? A: Occasional meals and nominal gifts are ordinarily acceptable, so long as they don t raise a question about Denisha s objectivity. Customer entertainment and gifts should be discussed in advance with your supervisor. The supervisor should evaluate the business purpose for the meal, the setting and the cost of the meal, and the frequency of the vendor s invitations.

45 A27: Does the company have a training programme that explicitly covers anticorruption? 1 Based on public information, there is evidence that the company has a training programme on its Code of Business Conduct, which contains an anti-corruption policy. The company therefore scores 1. To score higher the company would need to provide evidence of an explicit anti-corruption module. Company Website: Corporate Governance - Code of Conduct The Corporate Integrity and Compliance Council The Corporate Integrity and Compliance Council shall provide policy leadership for the Company's Integrity and Compliance Program and report to the Corporate Responsibility Committee of the Board of Directors. Responsibilities of the Council include: ( ) reviewing and approving Integrity and Compliance training The Business Unit Integrity and Compliance Leadership Function Each business unit shall appoint Integrity and Compliance Officer who shall determine the appropriate organizational oversight structure to assure effective implementation of Integrity and Compliance responsibilities within the business unit. Responsibilities of the business unit leadership function include: ( ) developing, delivering and tracking Integrity and Compliance training; providing advice and counsel to employees regarding Code of Business Conduct and other ethical inquiries raised by an employee. Company website: New Employee Orientation Our Commitment to Integrity At Honeywell, we are committed to integrity and compliance in everything we do.
