Our motivation to give our best every day comes from our
core purpose: we will challenge conventional thinking and innovatively
use all our resources to drive positive change in the lives of our stakeholders
and communities across the world, to enable them to Rise.
Our products and services
support our customers’ ambitions to improve their living standards; our responsible
business practices positively engage the communities we join through employment,
education, and outreach; and our commitment to sustainable business is bringing
green technology and awareness into the mainstream through our products, services,
and light-footprint manufacturing processes.
This commitment to sustainability—social,
economic, and environmental—rests upon a set of core values. They are an amalgamation
of what we have been, what we are, and what we want to be. These values are
the compass that guides our actions, both personal and corporate. They are:
Professionalism
We have always sought
the best people for the job and given them the freedom and the opportunity to grow.
We will continue to do so. We will support innovation and well-reasoned
risk taking, but will demand performance.
Good corporate
citizenship
As in
the past, we will continue to seek long-term success, which is in alignment with
the needs of the countries we serve. We will do this without compromising ethical
business standards.
We exist
and prosper only because of the customer. We will respond to the changing
needs and expectations of our customers speedily, courteously and effectively.
Quality focus
Quality is the key to
delivering value for money to our customers. We will make quality a driving
value in our work, in our products and in our interactions with others. We
will do it 'First Time Right.'
Dignity of the
individual
We will value individual
dignity, uphold the right to express disagreement and respect the time and efforts
of others. Through our actions, we will nurture fairness, trust, and transparency.
