We hold our team members, partners and suppliers to the same high standards. And we comply with all applicable laws and regulations where we operate, conducting our business activities in an honest and ethical manner.
ABM’s governance structure provides a framework to serve all stakeholders, including team members, clients, suppliers, investors and communities with integrity.
Shared with ABM team members at time of hire, our COBC guides how we do business and is an important reflection of how we operate as a lawful, fair and ethical organization and responsible corporate citizen. All ABM team members are empowered to report any violations of the COBC or applicable law, and are provided with various channels to do so.
One reporting channel ABM team members can use for reporting violations or concerns is the ABM Compliance Hotline, which is accessible by phone or website, administered by a third party, and always available. The hotline can take reports in more than 100 languages and accept reports anonymously. The COBC also clearly states ABM’s policy that there will be no retaliation against whistleblowers.
ABM supports reporting of any potential corruption and bribery violations and provides various methods to report both directly or confidentially. Team members are encouraged and instructed to use any of our reporting mechanisms if they encounter or witness any type of inappropriate behavior or have any concerns. In addition, we:
As of 2021, no allegation had been made against ABM about corruption, and no confirmed incidents under any applicable corruption laws had been reported. Additionally, there were no legal actions against ABM for anti-competitive behavior, anti-trust or monopoly practices.
We prioritize the safety and well-being of our team members by providing the leadership, policies, practices and training to not only prevent harassment and misconduct, but to provide a path to resolution.
ABM has a written policy against harassment in the workplace, which is included in the National Team Member Handbook, our COBC and in our new hire package.
ABM maintains robust internal training programs on multiple topics, and trainings are tailored to the needs of our team members. At the time of hire and annually, all ABM team members receive anti-harassment training that meets and exceeds all federal and state requirements.
ABM team members have multiple options for reporting incidents of sexual harassment or other workplace misconduct:
ABM follows all international labor and immigration laws that apply to us and does not tolerate the use of child labor; any acts of modern slavery; human trafficking; or other illegal, abusive or forced labor practices. This includes compliance with internationally recognized laws and regulations in all locations where we operate, regardless of local business customs. ABM’s U.K. business maintains a Modern Slavery Act Statement wherein ABM states its support of the Modern Slavery Act of 2015. The company considers its team members as critical to its success and it is committed to operating free from forced labor, slavery and human trafficking.
