14 Martin Marietta
Anti-Corruption and

Anti-Bribery

No employee, officer, manager or director will make, or cause
to be made, any improper payment or offer any improper inducement to any
actual or potential customer or to an intermediary as a bribe, kickback or similar
payment that is directly or indirectly for the benefit of any individual (including
any government official), company or organization in any country, and which is
designed, directly or indirectly, to secure favored treatment for the Company.
Under laws in a number of jurisdictions, it is a crime, punishable by
imprisonment and substantial fines, to make payments or offer inducements of this
kind to government officials, including under the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act,
the U.K. Bribery Act and other international anti-corruption laws. The Company
will adhere to the letter and spirit of such laws, and its policy is broader in scope
and is intended to apply regardless of whether the payment, inducement, or
use is lawful under the laws of a particular country, or whether the allegations
involve individuals employed directly by Martin Marietta or those with whom we
partner, such as agents and suppliers. It is important that any questions about this
policy be discussed with the Company’s Legal Department before any payment or
inducement is made that may be viewed as a possible violation of this policy.
In some cases, payments to facilitate routine transactions that are regular
practice and required by law may be acceptable. Before these “facilitation
payments” are made or agreed upon, employees must consult with the Company’s
Legal Department to ensure that the payments are permissible.
