Business Policies

Blue Bird Code of Ethics

The values expressed in this Code should frame the behavior of all Blue Bird employees. By following the Code, Blue Bird will remain a Company appreciated by all our customers, suppliers, and local communities.

The Code applies to all employees of Blue Bird, whatever their job, wherever they are located. It is the responsibility of each and everyone of us to ensure that it is followed.

The Principles of the Code

We handle Blue Bird’s business in an ethical, responsible, and sustainable manner by:

• - Complying with all relevant laws and regulations wherever we operate and conducting our business with integrity and in such a manner as to reinforce its reputation;
• - Providing excellent products and service to our customers and seeking to win new businesses through fair competition;
• - Dealing honestly and fairly with our suppliers and subcontractors;
• - Treating all employees with respect and working to maintain a healthy and safe working environment;
• - Contributing positively to the communities in which we operate;
• - Reporting all instances of fraud, abuse, conflict of interest, and other violations of the Code

Code of Ethics Statement

Blue Bird is committed to maintaining a work environment in which our associates are proud to work, and our suppliers and other business partners know that they are being dealt with fairly.

Blue Bird’s business was built upon a foundation of honesty, respect, fairness and integrity. We must each strive to preserve that foundation by bringing these values to our job every day. To that end, all Blue Bird associates must follow the Company’s Code of Ethics. However, because this statement cannot possibly describe every practice or principle related to honest and ethical conduct, it is our responsibility to apply common sense, together with a desire simply to do the right thing, in making business and personal decisions where no stated guideline exists.

Transparency and accountability should be strictly adhered to in all procurement activities. Blue Bird has similar expectations of its suppliers, which are strongly encouraged to practice similar business practices as well as familiarize themselves with this Code of Ethics to ensure successful working relations with Blue Bird.

Mission Statement

WHAT WE STAND FOR

We come to work every day with one common goal, to design, build, sell and service the world’s finest school bus. That’s what we do – no distractions, no competing priorities. We are heirs to a rich legacy, one of listening to our customers, embracing their needs, and delivering innovations that lead the market.

We commit ourselves to four driving priorities – safety, quality, durability, and serviceability. We embody the interests of every child that rides us, every driver that drives us, every service technician that services us and every district that buys us. More than a business, this work is our heritage, and we have been at it since 1927 – that’s purpose driven.

OUR PROMISE

We are singularly focused on building and selling school buses that customers want and value. The safety of schoolchildren is at the center of all that we do and we will strive every day, just as we have since our beginning in 1927, to provide an unparalleled and affordable product in terms of safety, quality, durability and serviceability.

We will be easy to do business with, responsive to our customers’ wants and needs, and provide prompt after-sale support in parts and service through a professional, high-qualified distribution network. Customer satisfaction is our top priority.
