CEO Message

Focusing on the Right Priorities

Corporate responsibility comes down to people.

The best companies — the ones that achieve a healthy balance of business success and global goodwill — are the ones that bring out the best in their people.

At ITT, we have an outstanding group of employees. They are among the smartest people in their many fields and have a strong desire to achieve at the highest levels. In addition, they are highly ethical and caring, dedicated to doing the right thing at work and in the larger world.

It's our responsibility to create a culture where this talented team of employees can flourish in full. A culture where they don't have to check their hearts, minds or personal values at the door. Where they feel inspired, energized — and proud of every decision they make and every action they take. By creating an engaged workforce, we are building a foundation of goodwill that extends to our customers, suppliers, investors, and communities.

In this past year, we sharpened our focus on values and ethics and began reshaping our company culture to reflect and reinforce the strong personal values of our employees.

This is a top-level priority for our company. We are committed to living our values. We are proud that ITT is one of the top-performing companies in the world and we will continue to pursue aggressive growth goals-and always within our commitment to doing the right thing.

ITT will achieve great results and embrace our responsibilities as a global citizen, business and employer. By engaging and empowering our employees — by allowing them to bring their best selves to work each day — we are creating a company with an extraordinary commitment to achieving success the right way.
