We are the best we can be and bring out the best in everyone and the business. We empower and trust others to take ownership and embrace diverse perspectives. We listen to and learn from our colleagues.
We aim for simplicity and go straight to the point because clarity helps us focus on what matters. We don’t overcomplicate so we can be clear and efficient. Less really is more.
We make careful, sustainable choices by using resources responsibly and doing more with less. We create value for money, making a sustainable lifestyle accessible for everyone.
We are always eager to find a better way forward. We constantly improve by seeking feedback to act, learn and adapt with speed. Everyday improvements, big or small steps, can make a huge difference.
We are open, honest and humble. We reflect on our behaviour and listen to others. We speak up, but once a decision has been made, we commit to it. We are prepared to have our own ideas challenged and happy to let the best idea win.
