OUR
VALUES
HONESTY / TRUTHFULNESS
To be honest means to be truthful in everything one says and does.
This means more than refrainingfrom lying. It includes telling
the whole truth evenwhen doing so is difficult.
INTEGRITY
Integrity results from consistent decisions to actethically in
difficult situations. To have integrity is to uphold ethical principles
and do what you say you will do, consistently, predictably and
reliably.
QUALITY
Quality speaks to doing everything to the best of one's ability
and striving to better meet the needs of our customers.
GOOD CITIZENSHIP
Good citizenship requires all of us to obey applicable laws and
regulations. As an
organization we will continue to strive for an open, transparent
business climate free from corruption and will therefore refrain
from paying bribes or otherwise unlawfully attempting to influence
customer decisions.
RESPECT
Respect is regard for the inherent worth of each individual. It
requires us to create a workplace where people are treated well
and are afforded all of the rights they are entitled to both under
law and company policy. A respectful workplace is safe, free from
discrimination and harassment, affords employees equal opportunity
to pursue their goals and protects the privacy of personal information
the
company may obtain or possess.
FAIRNESS
Fairness can be understood as a concern for how others are treated
- ensuring that we treat them in the way we would wish to be treated
in a similar situation. Fairness is a commitment to treat people
ethically and to apply ethical standards and reasoning to our
decisions regarding how they affect other people. Fairness also
governs how we treat other businesses, including our competitors
and how we manage working relationships.
RESPONSIBILITY/ACCOUNTABILITY
Responsibility calls on us to accept the obligation to act in
certain ways. Accountability is the willingness to accept the
consequences of our actions.
Together they are the cornerstone of mature, ethical conduct.
INNOVATION AND TECHNOLOGY
We will encourage a hunger for new ideas, new technologies, and
new ways of working, to secure sustained competitive advantage
for our Company
PRIVACY
We respect our clients' right to privacy, and use information
with appropriate discretion.
