Values & Ethics

Our values and philosophy form the basis of everything we do and are at the heart of our culture. They have enabled us to reach the top of our industry and are key to helping us maintain this position for the long term. Our global workforce, which embraces team diversity and reflects the societies in which we operate, is therefore crucial for building an open and unified company. For us, our people matter and so do our suppliers, customers, stakeholders, and communities around us.
