The I.B.E.W. has developed a Code of Excellence program designed to bring out the best in our construction members and demonstrate to our customers that I.B.E.W. members:

• Exercise safe and productive work practices
• Perform the highest quality and quantity of work
• Utilize their skills and abilities to the maximum

The Code of Excellence is not only about an I.B.E.W. job being built right the first time, on schedule and under budget; it is also about pride in I.B.E.W. membership and craftsmanship and leaving a lasting impression of quality workmanship with the customer … thus, prompting the customer to again employ the I.B.E.W. on future projects. The Code of Excellence program is also a means to build and project positive attitudes about who we are and the work we do – on and off the job.
