TENNECO ORGANISATION

Tenneco endeavours to supply its Customers with the highest quality, most cost-competitive products available in the industry. In support of this objective, our organisational philosophy is to develop relationships with Suppliers who best demonstrate their commitment to these goals through consistent delivery of defect-free products, at competitive prices.

Tenneco is committed to developing, manufacturing, and marketing innovative, reliable and cost effective systems and modules. To support this objective, Tenneco Suppliers must be technologically competent and financially capable of supporting our development needs for current and future products.

Tenneco will encourage its Suppliers to become involved in new project development, to ensure we have robust designs and processes capable of meeting our goals. In order to be considered as a Tenneco Supplier, companies must be willing to share information on their financial condition with our Purchasing Department.

Sourcing decisions will be based on competitive pricing, quality assurance, supply, delivery performance, service, and life cycle costing. This sourcing philosophy will include development of long-term relationships with Suppliers to achieve productivity improvements, in order to reduce costs on a continuous basis.

In order to support sound procurement practices and maintain a reputation for honesty and fairness, Tenneco will select Suppliers who can provide products and services of the highest value. Employees are expected to observe the highest ethical standards when handling Company business, making contacts with the business community, and other matters, which would indirectly affect the Company's reputation for integrity.

It is Tenneco's policy that personnel and Suppliers must not engage in any activities or have any personal or financial interests outside the Company, which constitute a conflict of interest with Company policies or which conflicts in any way with their assigned responsibilities.

It is Tenneco's policy that personnel or Suppliers must never place themselves or the Company under obligation at any time by the acceptance/offer of gifts and gratuities of value. When it is necessary to decline such favours, it should be done courteously with a brief explanation of the standard Company policy regarding this matter.

If a Supplier feels that their position has been compromised by any individual within Tenneco, they are required to inform Tenneco Leadership of their concern, as soon as possible.
