Our Values

The Golden Rule, which is common to all faiths, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,” is the central precept that defines our relations with our employee family, customers, suppliers, partners, communities, and the wider natural environment in which we exist.  

As an organization, we believe that the United Nations 17 Sustainable Development Goals to transform the world (SDGs) best articulate our vision of progress. These worthy goals are:

1. No Poverty

2. Zero Hunger

3. Good Health and Well-being

4. Quality Education

5. Gender Equality

6. Clean Water and Sanitation

7. Affordable and Clean Energy

8. Decent Work and Economic Growth

9. Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

10. Reduced Inequality

11. Sustainable Cities and Communities

12. Responsible Consumption and Production

13. Climate Action

14. Life Below Water

15. Life on Land

16. Peace and Justice Strong Institutions

17. Partnerships to achieve the Goal

In particular, we believe that the sustainable husbandry of the world's natural resources is not just an ideal, but a profound responsibility for businesses and individuals alike. Any waste, no matter how small, has an impact on the environment. Responsible natural resource management, sourcing recycled materials, reducing energy consumption across our footprint, promoting efficiency in production and logistics, and eliminating unnecessary travel all create a direct and positive impact on the world.  These action steps are within our control and are at the heart of what we do.  

In summary, we have the opportunity and responsibility to make the world a better place.
