Message from David Joyce, President and CEO

As GE begins its ninth decade in the aerospace industry, one cornerstone of our company continues to set us apart.

We are a company of unyielding integrity and our worldwide reputation for honest and reliable business conduct, built by so many people, is tested and proved in everything we do.

GE Aviation is more dynamic, globally directed and customer-driven than ever before. We strive to build upon our business success through our quality products and services; our forthright relations with customers, suppliers and each other; and, ultimately, our winning competitive record.

Our quest for competitive excellence begins and ends with our commitment to lawful and ethical conduct. As a global company, we must create and follow a set of global rules.

Each person in the GE Aviation community makes a personal commitment to follow our Code of Conduct. The "Spirit & The Letter" is our integrity policy, and each GE employee, regardless of business or industry, signs a pledge to adhere to it when they join the company.

I, and all GE leaders, have the additional responsibility of nurturing a culture in which compliance with our internal policies and applicable laws are at the very core of our business activities. Integrity is the way we work.

Sincerely,

David L. Joyce
President and CEO
