Our Values and Culture

Our values reflect our priorities and form the bedrock of our culture: 

•We do the right thing – we earn trust, act with ethics, integrity and transparency, treat everyone with respect, value diverse perspectives and foster safe and inclusive environments.

•We do what we promise – we own the delivery of results, focused on quality.

•We commit to shared success – we work together to focus on the mission and take accountability for the sustainable success of our people, customers, shareholders, suppliers and communities. 

•We pioneer – with fierce curiosity, dedication and innovation, we seek to solve the world’s most challenging problems.

Among other programs through which the company lives its values, the company maintains a Standards of Business Conduct program through which our employees are empowered to raise concerns through multiple channels without fear of reprisal. In addition to full-time ethics professionals, we also have over 150 business conduct advisors who promote values and an ethical culture within the company. Additionally, our annual Employee Experience Survey gives employees a voice and a mechanism to provide feedback on our culture and empower our leaders to enhance the employee experience. This anonymous survey encourages employee candor on key engagement and inclusion drivers, including belonging, respect, a sense of personal work accomplishment and recommending the company to others. In 2024, 80 percent of employees responded to the survey, an indication that our employees believe their feedback matters. Our performance on the annual survey is compared to the Qualtrics Global Benchmark and our survey results exceeded many of their global norms for both engagement and inclusion. Our leaders review the survey responses and work collaboratively with their teams to take meaningful actions based on survey results.

Our culture and values serve as an enabling force that helps us pioneer, perform and deliver on quality, which results in value for our shareholders, customers, and employees. We actively seek candidates for employment from a wide range of backgrounds and experiences to tap into the full spectrum of talent available now and in the future to create a culture of belonging for everyone.
