Our Values

Our values are our compass. They guide every decision and can’t be compromised, and reflect that our people and their behaviors matter.

Value #1 – Put Safety First

Nothing is worth making if those who make it and those who consume it aren’t safe.

How can you Put Safety First at work?

Safety is always on your mind. You call out unsafe behaviors and processes.
You follow your safety training to the letter and you don’t tolerate anyone cutting corners. You ask for help when you need it. You proactively identify and share opportunities for enhanced safety in your work environment.

You are honest and act with integrity. You are mindful of how you speak to others and share feedback in a productive manner. You are quick to admit mistakes and work to correct them. If you say you’ll do something, you do it. You make the right choice even when it’s hard.

Challenge the status quo and have the courage to adapt to change.

How can you Be Courageous at work?

You share your ideas, even if they are controversial or go against established norms. You make tough decisions when needed. You know when you need help and aren’t afraid to ask for it.
