Ethics

Our Code of Ethics

Upholding honesty and integrity at every level is critical to our success. We each have a responsibility to act professionally, understand the Company Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, policies and applicable laws, promptly report concerns and share the Company’s commitment of mutual respect by demonstrating courtesy and civility.

Patterson-UTI's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics outlines the standards and principles that all employees, officers and directors must follow when working with co-workers, vendors, customers or other third parties. The policy addresses conflicts of interest, confidentiality, fair dealing with others, proper use of company assets, compliance with laws, insider trading, keeping of books and records, zero tolerance for discrimination and harassment in the work environment, use of company computers and communications equipment and reporting of violations. Our dedicated Global Anticorruption Policy prohibits all forms of bribery, addresses training and provides the requirements for careful due diligence of potential partners and intermediaries.

Patterson-UTI does not tolerate any retaliation against an employee who in good faith asks questions, makes a report of actions that may be inconsistent with our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, policies or laws or regulations or who assists in an investigation of suspected wrongdoing.

Patterson-UTI respects and values human rights. As detailed in our Human Rights Policy, we aim to treat all human beings with honesty, fairness and dignity in all aspects of doing business.

Our Vendor Guidelines set forth our expectations of our suppliers and vendors with regard to human rights, health and safety, environmental management, ethics and other areas.
