Execute with excellence: We do incredible work by raising the bar. Executing with excellence means “good enough” simply isn’t good enough at our company. We go the extra mile to exceed expectations in all we do.

Be in balance: We expect the best from one another and strive for a culture of trust. We empower each other to be flexible and prioritize balance, mental well-being, and physical health to enable us to do our best work.

Act with care: We have a responsibility to act with care about our business, our colleagues, and the communities in which we operate. Caring is going the extra mile in how we do our jobs, treat our colleagues, and contribute to making a positive difference in society.

Instil inclusivity: We are inclusive of different voices, perspectives, and experiences, and believe we are stronger as a team when we celebrate our differences. Cultivating a culture of inclusion, equity, and equality is never done, but we are passionate about the pursuit.
