Our People and Culture
Our people and culture make the difference. Ultimately, it is our expertise that brings customers to us with their biggest challenges. That's why:
- We foster a fair and inclusive work environment in which everyone can succeed and develop.
- Our leaders are expected to foster a culture based on our values and drive performance by unleashing the full potential of all employees.
- We further strengthen the company and our culture by conducting an employee engagement survey to identify areas of improvement and to take effective action.

We build a “high performance – high integrity” culture
For us, the performance of our business and employees has never just been measured in the results. It’s also measured in how we achieve them.
Integrity is our license to operate – we must always be mindful of safety, internal controls, adherence to our Code of Conduct and our values.
With these principles in mind, the results will speak for themselves: performance without integrity is no performance.
