Affirmative Action Policy Statement &
Non-Discrimination and Equal Employment Opportunity Policy Statement

It is the policy of Vermeer Corporation to provide equal employment opportunities to all qualified individuals, where employment is based upon personal capabilities and qualifications without discrimination because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability or any other protected characteristics established by law. It is our belief that unlawful discriminatory employment practices are harmful to our efforts to ensure continual, steady growth of our company. We have always followed a policy of nondiscrimination in employment practices. All employment decisions such as hiring, promotions, layoffs, return from layoffs, company-sponsored training, education and social activities are made on the basis of an employee's qualifications, interest and aptitude, and without unlawful regard to race, religion, color, creed, gender, age, national origin, disability, veteran status, sexual orientation, genetic information, or other applicable protected basis. Pursuant to this policy: We will recruit, hire, and promote persons in all job titles without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or any other protected characteristics established by law. Likewise, should the need arise to reduce the number of employees at Vermeer Corporation, or to re-align employees within the company to meet staffing needs, all displacements will be conducted in a manner that supports the principals of non-discrimination. We will ensure that all other personnel actions such as compensation, benefits, company sponsored training, education, and tuition assistance, as well as social and recreational programs will be administered without regard to race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, disability, or any other protected characteristics established by law. We will continually evaluate the performance of our management personnel in achieving our affirmative action objectives as well as other established criteria. The Human Resources Department has the responsibility of establishing, implementing, coordinating, monitoring, and revising the policies, procedures, and programs regarding non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity. Vermeer is an EEO/AAP employer.
