Code of Conduct

Granite's Core Values represent who we are and provide, without question, the standard of behavior by which we conduct business. These values are the heart, soul, and character of Granite. Our Code embodies the vision of our company founders and encompasses the values that have been and will continue to be vital to the future success of the Company.
