Human Rights

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. We are committed to compliance with all applicable employment, labor, and human rights laws of the countries in which we operate.

The Human Rights policy also addresses child labor, forced labor and human trafficking and establishes that our global vendors and suppliers are expected to share our commitment to respecting the human rights and dignity of all individuals. Our Equal Employment Opportunity and Anti-Harassment Policy prohibits discrimination or harassment of any type and affords equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants, without regard to age, race, sex, color, religion, national origin, disability, marital status, covered veteran status, genetic information, sexual orientation, gender identity or any other characteristic protected under state, federal or local law.

We have a Conflict Minerals Policy that outlines our commitment to responsible sourcing of materials for our products.

Our 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 (including anti-money laundering laws, anti-trust laws, anti-boycott regulations, and global trade laws), insider trading, keeping of books and records, zero tolerance for discrimination and harassment in the work environment, as well as reporting of violations.
