Our business principles
Our Code of Ethics underpins everything we do as a business. We will promote the values of business as a force for good, demonstrate our responsibility to people and planet, and create shared value with all our stakeholders. We welcome feedback on our work and commit to learn from this.
Our responsibility to our planet
We will at all times seek to minimise the environmental impact of our activities, always complying with all environmental protection legislation and seeking to minimise waste.
Our responsibility to each other
- We will at all times treat our colleagues with dignity and respect, and we will value every individual's time and effort.
- We will work as a team, encourage collaboration, and strive to be empathetic and supportive.
- We will embrace the value of diversity and we will not tolerate discrimination or harassment.
- We will value openness and honesty and encourage everyone to speak up and share their opinions and concerns.
