Leading Today to Shape Tomorrow

A Message From David Kohler, Chair and Chief Executive Officer, Kohler Co.

At Kohler Co., our mission is to help people live gracious, healthy, and sustainable lives. The Company has a long history of delighting customers, providing innovative solutions, introducing thoughtful design, and living our mission. We are proud of both what we do and how we do it. 

Every day, we make choices that shape our Company, our culture, and the world. Acting boldly means facing challenges head-on, embracing innovation, and staying true to our principles—even when the path forward is complex. It means protecting what matters, responding with integrity, and always looking ahead. 

Our Code of Conduct (Code) is more than a document—it is a reflection of who we are, how we lead, and how we work. We boldly uphold the highest standards of high-integrity behavior, not just because it is expected but because it is right. We understand that trust and transparency are critical, and we are proud to set a high ethical standard for ourselves and our industry. 

Together, we are not just continuing to build a company—we are shaping a legacy. Do your part to take the time to read, understand, and promote this Code, and the policies referenced herein. If you suspect a violation of any of these policies, it is your duty to report it. Thank you for your commitment to acting with integrity and leading our business in the right way.
