Governance Overview

The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board oversees our Sustainability Program and approves our annual Sustainability Report. Our strong governance policies support our operational and commercial excellence, guided by a talented, diverse Board of Directors.

A key element of our governance is the commitment to managing risk through an integrated approach involving Board oversight, leadership management, and detailed operations. This includes a cross-functional Climate Risk and Opportunities Committee to identify physical and transitional climate-related risks and opportunities.

In our current business environment where ethical dilemmas are increasingly complicated, our Ethics & Compliance program supports our employees with clear policies and procedures that establish our expectations for ethical behavior. We further provide employees with the necessary tools through training and communication that bring policies to life through stories, modeling behaviors, and engaging employees to think critically about how each one of us can contribute to our company’s high integrity, values-based culture.

As a global company with operations across more than 20 countries, we take a firm stand against bribery and corruption. Our Anti-Bribery Policy has a strict prohibition on bribery, limits the provision or acceptance of items of value to or from third parties, requires legal department authorization to engage with government officials, and outlines due diligence and approval requirements for representatives who conduct business on behalf of Littelfuse. We also require contractual provisions in our commercial agreements that place anti-bribery compliance obligations on our third-party partners.

We are committed to continuously earning a stellar reputation through maintaining the trust of our key stakeholders. Preventing cybersecurity risks and protecting the privacy and security of the personal data we have been entrusted with is essential to build trust with our employees, applicants, suppliers, customers, and other business contacts.

Safeguarding personal data is a top priority. We are committed to protecting the data of our employees, applicants, suppliers, customers, and business contacts. Beyond employee data, we also manage personal data for marketing and maintaining relationships with customers, suppliers, distributors, and sales representatives. Our Privacy Policy complies with national and international data protection laws, including the GDPR, ensuring responsible data processing.

We strive to operate a sustainable global supply chain to minimize our environmental impact, while also responsibly sourcing materials in an ethical manner that supports human rights. By implementing these sustainable practices throughout our supply chain, we aim to create long-term value for our stakeholders and benefit the communities where we live, work and operate.
