People and Workplace
Putting Our Values To Work
At Applied Materials, we believe that diverse perspectives, experiences and backgrounds enhance teamwork and innovations. We are committed to diversity to fuel invention, creativity and engagement in our workforce.
In addition to building diversity, we actively promote a broad and inclusive culture of understanding and empowerment to ensure that we have an engaged workforce. Innovation thrives when members of our workforce feel valued and respected and know that they are included in a company culture in which they are contributing to our shared success.
Our Workforce
Applied’s diversity footprint spans 19 countries and reflects various cultures, backgrounds, ages, genders and ethnicities that come together to form a rich tapestry of talent.
Innovation Starts with Learning
Fostering personal and professional development for all of its workforce through a vast array of onsite resources and online platforms that promote career development, improve overall motivation and help employees manage every stage of their careers.
Everyone, Every Day
We are committed to upholding the highest ethical standards and ensuring compliance in the workplace and in all business activities. Our core values include responsibility and integrity. These values are foundational to our success and vital to creating a culture of mutual trust and respect in our interactions with all stakeholders—including employees, customers, suppliers, competitors and the public.
Standards of Business Conduct
To promote a strong and consistent culture of ethics, Applied Materials has a uniform Standards of Business Conduct (SBC) code that applies to its entire workforce around the world. These Standards guide personnel in making the best possible decisions. The SBC is available to our global workforce in 11 languages and to the public online.
A fundamental respect for the dignity of every human being is the starting point for everything we do. We are deeply committed to ensuring human rights are protected wherever we do business, consistently striving to operate in an ethical and socially responsible manner—both across our workforce and throughout our supply chain.
