THE HORTON CULTURE

CULTURE & VALUES

A corporate culture is not something that can be consciously created with motivational posters or an interoffice memo. You do not find it on billboards or business cards. Slogans simply cannot be trusted.

A corporate culture is organic. It is intangible. It starts when a company first opens for business and then grows from the top-down.

While Glenn Horton’s vision of a multi-national company may not have been shared by all who came to Horton throughout the 1970’s and 1980’s, they worked together to establish the foundation of an unwavering corporate culture.

Glenn Horton, President and CEO, explains:
“Hire driven, knowledgeable people who share a common entrepreneurial spirit and an enduring commitment to professionalism. Create an environment where employees are challenged and give them room to set and achieve professional goals. Hold business practices to the highest ethical standards. Continually reinvest in the infrastructure and plan for the future. That is the Horton culture.”

The product of The Horton Group’s commitment to these values is trusting relationships with employees, clients and insurance carriers. A reputation for excellence has naturally evolved, resulting in increased business and exponential growth.

ETHICSPOINT

The reputation of corporate America has suffered greatly over the past several years, due in large measure to some significant business failures, and more recently the collapse of the U.S. financial markets, including Enron, WorldCom and the like. Evidence from those business failures show that people within the affected companies may have had knowledge of illegal or unethical acts, but did not know how or to whom they should report that knowledge, or perhaps they feared retaliation. In some cases, had proper authorities been advised, disaster may have been averted.

At The Horton Group we want to make sure you have the tools at your disposal should you find it necessary to report wrongdoing, including fraud, theft or other financial irregularities that could adversely affect our Company. To expedite this process, Horton has entered into a business relationship with EthicsPoint.

EthicsPoint is a comprehensive and anonymous Internet and telephone based reporting tool that assists the Board of Directors, management and employees as we work together to ensure The Horton Group and its employees do not fall victim to accounting and auditing fraud, discrimination or harassment, falsification of contracts, improper use of gifts and entertainment, or violation of policy. EthicsPoint is easy to use and confidential. I encourage you to check out their website at http://www.ethicspoint.com/. Attached is a Q&A to answer questions about EthicsPoint and how it may be used, should the need arise. Going forward, it is also our intent to create an outlet for our clients to report activity using EthicsPoint through a link on our internet site.

At The Horton Group, we take particular pride in the honesty and integrity of our employees. With your help, The Horton Group and its employees will continue to be recognized not only for superior levels of service, but also for aspiring to the highest standards of honesty and integrity.
