Our Principles

As Boeing and the aerospace industry move toward recovery, it is important that we examine how our supply chain teams operate to enable supplier performance, delivery, quality and excellence along that journey. This means continuously improving how we work with suppliers, finding new ways to demonstrate our commitments to one another and implementing steps that will evolve our relationships to a more integrated approach that better captures the full value of our partnerships.

The Boeing Supply Chain Principles take an expanded view at how greater collaboration with suppliers can strengthen relationships that yield improved performance, on-time delivery, and affordability. They are rooted in our values and include the following:

• Safety and Quality are paramount
• Relationships based on integrity; diversity is valued
• Transparent communication
• Delivery performance is fundamental
• Sustainable continuous value creation

Our products are at home in the skies, but they're built on the ground. Naturally, we have a deep commitment to using the technology and innovation we're known for to benefit the environment.

Boeing and the Environment: The Value of Supplier Collaboration

As a global aerospace leader, The Boeing Company recognizes its responsibility to build a sustainable future for its communities, employees, customers and investors. Boeing is committed to operating in a manner that promotes environmental stewardship.

Boeing has a long record of improving the environmental performance of our products and our own manufacturing processes. Boeing's life-cycle view seeks improvements through all stages of our product's life — beginning with our suppliers, through in-service use, all the way to end-of-life recycling or recovery.

In working with suppliers, we've recognized that there is great opportunity to go beyond current information-sharing activities. We are therefore developing a more systematic program of collaboration and engagement between Boeing and its suppliers in the area of environmental practices.

At Boeing, we believe that how we do our work is just as important as the work that we do. Across our global enterprise, employees are united by a shared commitment to our values, which serve as the guiding principles for all we do. Safety, quality, and integrity must be at the forefront as we design, build, and service our products.

We also believe that compliance and ethical behavior are everyone’s responsibility. That means we must hold ourselves—and each other—accountable to our values. Every year, all employees sign the Boeing Code of Conduct, which includes a promise to report potential violations of the law, the Code, and unethical conduct. We expect suppliers to adhere to the Boeing Supplier Code of Conduct throughout the time they do business with us, and notify Boeing of any instances where expectations are not met. At Boeing, we are committed to creating an open and accountable workplace in which all employees and suppliers are encouraged to proactively seek out issues, speak up and report concerns, and engage with transparency.

Boeing advances its ethics and compliance initiatives through the Global Compliance organization, led by Boeing’s Chief Compliance Officer, who works closely with the board of directors, senior company leadership, and external stakeholders.

The Boeing Ethics Line (1-888-970-7171) is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is available to Boeing employees, suppliers, contractors, or others from the public to report potential misconduct issues.

The Boeing Global Ethics Line is operated and staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week and is available in several countries. In addition to the Global Ethics Line, we also provide a web portal for individuals to report concerns who may not have access to the reporting channels on the internal Boeing network.
