Our commitments must guide the way we use our profit. We cherish our corporate freedom and choose to control our own destiny. As a publicly-owned company, we realize we cannot guarantee our independence forever. However, by keeping our corporate commitments and focusing on the long-term, we will strengthen ourselves and increase our opportunity to survive and prosper. Steady and Strategic Growth We will grow.
Growth is an important way of maintaining and renewing vitality in our company.
If we are not growing, we are dying. We must not grow simply for growth's sake, nor should we grow faster than our resources allow. Our growth must be orderly and well planned. It must enhance long-term financial performance rather than detract from it. We must seek to improve market share in existing markets by using client-focused sales and marketing strategies to maximize our potential in each market.
