Our Values
Our Values and Caring
A Strong Foundation
Our Credo and our Aspiration express shared values that continue to guide us every day. Together, they form the foundation of our Strategic Framework.
The priorities and direction these documents offer help set our culture apart. More importantly, they help us each play a vital role in caring for the world, together.
As employees, we’re compelled to ensure a positive impact on people, planet, and business. That means going beyond service to customers by serving the health and well-being of people everywhere… being responsible stewards of the resources we’re privileged to share… and ensuring business viability and vitality wherever we work.
Outside of work, employees are supported as they volunteer their time and resources to activities that support their local or global communities.
