Operational Excellence
At Lowe's, operational excellence means reducing risk and increasing efficiency and effectiveness by being good stewards of the environment, operating with integrity and embracing transparency.
We believe that doing the right thing should guide all decision-making at Lowe’s. Our board of directors oversees corporate strategy and risk management processes, and our corporate compliance and ethics group oversees our ethics and compliance program.
Lowe’s generally does not make contributions from corporate funds to political campaigns, super political action committees or political parties. We provide transparency by publishing annual reports of the company's political contributions and the aggregate dues paid to trade associations that engage in lobbying activities regarding issues that matter to the retail industry, our company, customers and shareholders.
At Lowe’s, information security and privacy are of paramount importance to maintain the trust of our customers and associates. We adopt physical, technological and administrative measures designed to comply with regulatory requirements and follow industry best practices. We strive to remain transparent to our customers as to how Lowe’s collects, uses and shares personal information.
