Gary Principles
Judge Elbert Gary
First US Steel Chairman

I believe that when a thing is right, it will ultimately and permanently
succeed.

The highest rewards come from honest and proper practice.

Bad results come in the long run from selfish, unfair and dishonest
conduct.

I believe in competition…that the race should be won by the swiftest, and
that success should come to him who is most earnest and active and
persevering.

I believe that no industry can permanently succeed that does not treat its
employees equitably and humanely.

I believe thoroughly in publicity. The surest and wisest of all regulation is
public opinion.

If we are to succeed in business, we must do it on principles that are
honest, fair, lawful and just.

We must put and keep ourselves on a platform so fair, so high, so
reasonable, that we will attract the attention and invite and secure the
approval of all who know what we are doing.

We do not advocate combinations or agreements in restraint of trade, nor
action of any kind which is opposed to the laws or to the public welfare.

We must never forget that our rights and interests are and should be
subservient to the public welfare, that the rights and interests of the
individual must always give way to those of the public.

Our Core Values
Before acting on
behalf of our
company, we must
challenge ourselves
with the question, “Is
it the right thing to
do?”
We each have a
personal
responsibility to do
what is right, and
that means more
than just complying
with laws and
regulations.
• Safety
• Diversity and Inclusion
• Focus on Cost, Quality and
Customer
• Results and Accountability
• Environmental Stewardship
