Governance & Integrity
is at the core of everything we do
Since 1937, HITT has been steadfast in our dedication to upholding the highest level of integrity in our work. We are deeply committed to risk management, ethics, and a stringent code of conduct. We believe that transparency is good business, and we hold ourselves to the highest levels of accountability.
​
Our core values, known as The HITT Way, are the true north for our team. They represent who we are and what we stand for collectively.
Up for the Challenge
We purposefully recognize team members who go above and beyond. Each quarter, our Principal Leadership Team recognizes peer-nominated team members who live by and embody our core values by awarding them with a Leadership Challenge Coin.

To hold ourselves accountable to the highest standards of integrity and transparency, HITT has a stringent internal audit program. In 2025, we selected 36 focus areas from across business operations that were audited for compliance. From this annual effort, internal policies and procedures continue to evolve to ensure HITT is positioned to reduce risk, strengthen controls, and maintain the highest standards of governance and accountability.
