Board Diversity and Independence:

We seek a Board with diversity of experience, gender, race and ethnicity. We also want our Board to reflect a range of talents, ages, skills, viewpoints, professional experience, educational background and expertise to provide sound and prudent guidance with respect to our operations and interests.

Honesty and Integrity are Always in Style:

The Associate Code of Conduct, established in 1998, is distributed to Associates worldwide and is reviewed and evaluated regularly by our Audit Committee, Chief Compliance Officer and General Counsel.

From the Top:

TJX’s shareholders, Associates, customers, vendors and other business partners rely on the honesty and integrity of the Company’s Board of Directors. To support this trust, TJX’s Directors must commit themselves to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Directors.

The TJX Companies, Inc. has practiced excellence in corporate governance for more than three decades. TJX is committed to the highest standards of ethics, which are reflected in our Director Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Code of Ethics for TJX Executives and Associate Code of Conduct. These policies are practiced daily and anchored by our core values of integrity, openness and treating others with dignity and fairness. We strongly believe that effective corporate governance must evolve and change with the needs of our stakeholders. Therefore, we listen carefully, re-evaluate our policies and practices periodically and aim to act in the best interests of our Associates, customers, shareholders, vendors and communities in which we operate.
