  • We embrace mutual responsibility. It is easy to default to individual success. Teams need to share success and failure in the same way.

  • We are more than a business. We care about the legacy of our work. We have a responsibility of care as an employer and influencer in the shaping of the world.

  • Sustainability is intrinsic to the economic and social impact of our work. Going beyond compliance requires challenging preconceptions, taking extra steps.
