Our approach

Our goal is simple: improve every day. It’s not just a mission, it’s an obligation to our stakeholders, our planet and ourselves. Our ability to make a difference for customers, suppliers, investors, team members and communities is dependent on our commitment to understanding their perspectives and acting on the insights they provide. We work hard to foster an open dialogue with the people who count on us, gathering the information we need to position ourselves and our stakeholders for the next 100 years of progress.

People First culture

When we take care of our team members and continue to put them first – by engaging and supporting them personally and professionally – we help them become their best selves at home and at work. We've seen firsthand that a People First culture makes us a stronger organization and we continue to develop that culture every day.
