All directors, officers and employees must respect and obey applicable laws and regulations. Because we are a government contractor, the laws and regulations affecting Raytheon are complex, and it is important to seek advice from your lawyer in the office of General Counsel, or from the Ethics office to ensure compliance with the law.

We compete fairly and honestly, not through unethical or illegal business practices in restraint of trade which may reduce competition.

We abide by applicable antitrust laws whenever we form alliance or team, and wherever we do business. We prohibit entering into agreements with competitors to fix or control prices: to boycott specified suppliers or customers: to allocate customers or territories; to limit production or sale of products or product lines for anticompetitive purposes, or other anticompetitive behavior. Employee involved in any dealings with competitors should never engage in anticompetitive discussions, or if approached by anyone to enter such discussion, must report the matter to the office of General Counsel. Any business arrangement with competitors must be reviewed and approved by the office of General Counsel to ensure legal compliance with antitrust laws.

Employees must be honest in marketing, preparing bid proposals based on properly estimated cost and pricing data, and in truthfully negotiating contracts.
Excellence in performance must be based on our compliance with contract specifications and associated quality and testing requirements. We seek to outperform our competition fairly and honestly, and never through unethical or illegal business practices.
