For over 132 years, through economic ups and downs, Goodrich Corporation has stayed the course, delivering long-term value to our shareholders and customers, and providing a challenging and rewarding place to work for our employees. Our hallmarks include:

Strong financial performance. Our goal is superior returns through consistent, predictable revenue and income growth.

Global leadership. More than 40 successful acquisitions over the past 16 years, coupled with internal growth, have created an unparalleled portfolio of world-class aerospace systems.

Balanced business mix. We have purposefully diversified our product market and customer mix to counterbalance industry cycles in aircraft production.

Value-creating processes. Strategic planning, value-based management, operational excellence, innovation and business platform “roadmaps” are among our purposeful processes that deliver value.

Innovative solutions. Developing breakthrough innovations is part of our culture. We systematically look for ways to leverage our technological strengths through aerospace – and beyond.



Goodrich’s ethical foundation is built on four principles: integrity, mutual respect, responsibility and corporate citizenship.

  • Integrity drives our commitment to customers, suppliers, fellow employees and others with whom we interact. We embrace truthfulness and trust. We say what we mean, and we deliver what and when we promise.
  • Mutual respect creates an environment based on teamwork and trust. We value the differences and the similarities in our customers, suppliers, fellow employees and communities.
  • Responsibility makes us accountable for accepting the consequences of our behavior. We strive for excellence in everything we do. We are expected to adhere to the highest legal and ethical standards.
  • Corporate citizenship requires that we operate our businesses in a manner that respects and complies with all applicable laws and regulations. We respect the environment.

To help maintain commitment to these principles, Goodrich has recently adopted its updated Business Code of Conduct. The Code, which applies to our directors, officers, employees and others acting on behalf of the company, identifies fundamental legal and ethical principles for conducting all aspects of business. From product integrity on the factory floor to corporate governance in the boardroom, all of us are expected to adhere to these standards and to report any violations. An extensive program of live and on-line training supports the Code. The company employs a full-time Director of Ethics and Business Conduct, and provides a Helpline to address problems and concerns about ethical or legal issues.
