Leadership Overview
Strong governance led by Chairman Mary K. Rhinehart and President & CEO Bob Wamboldt serves as the essential backbone for creating lasting value and transparency. In close coordination with our parent company, Berkshire Hathaway, our Board of Directors steers the company’s strategic direction across finance, operations and sustainability.
“Sustainability is a strategic, long-term commitment to ensuring our products remain essential in a changing world without overcommitting resources that belong to all of us. JM products are innovated with future needs in mind and our portfolio is well positioned for a world that is increasingly energy-intensive and susceptible to climate extremes.”

Stakeholders & Materiality
Our strategy is grounded in continuous engagement with the stakeholders who influence and are affected by our global operations. This process identifies the non-financial topics most critical to our success, ensuring our goals align with our core values. By holding true to these commitments, we maintain the transparency and accountability necessary to deliver long-term value for our customers, partners and the environment.
Ethics & Compliance
Our foundation of success rests on a commitment to honesty, integrity and legal compliance, formalized through our Code of Conduct and a values-driven compliance program. We integrate anti-corruption, data privacy and human rights directly into our daily workflows and provide employees with a Global Ethics & Compliance Portal for guidance. To ensure accountability, we maintain secure, anonymous reporting channels like the Berkshire Hathaway Ethics Hotline and uphold a strict non-retaliation policy.
Data Privacy & Cybersecurity
We prioritize cybersecurity and data privacy with the same intensity as physical safety. Maintaining an industry-leading "A" rating and ISO 27001 certification to protect our information, assets and stakeholder data creates operational continuity and long-term trust. We ensure tools like AI serve as productive enablers rather than vulnerabilities. This commitment is reinforced through high-level oversight from our Information Security Council and a vigilant culture of awareness across our workforce.
Risk Management
Effective risk management ensures operational resilience through robust business continuity planning and a comprehensive Third-Party Risk Management program. In 2025, we conducted a climate risk assessment aligned with TCFD recommendations to better understand and adapt to environmental hazards. These integrated efforts minimize disruptions from supply chain instability, cybersecurity threats, geopolitical uncertainty and other crises, allowing us to deliver for our customers even under adverse conditions.
