Stay safe
Safety is not just our priority, it's our way of life. It's our fundamental belief, our habit, our purpose.
To stay safe is ingrained in our DNA. We are committed to bringing everyone to work and back home safely. That's a promise we work and live by.
One person's safety is everyone's safety. So, stay safe as it is our right to exist.
Drive engineering excellence
We create beautiful solutions, in an excellent way. We design, we make, we innovate. Excellence is about engineering, just as much as it is a mindset. It is about collaboration open mindedness.
We are curious, ask questions and share our expertise with others. It is about giving and receiving feedback and incorporating it in everything we do.
Excellence means having an eye for detail yet at the same time we know when to take a break and reflect. We look at the bigger picture.
It means daring to speak up when something is not according to our standards or principles. It means upholding them at all times and to continuously improve, to get better every single day.
Think inclusively
To think inclusively is to actively notice and reflect on our primary response before acting. It is to think and communicate mindfully. We listen, ask questions and reflect.
We embrace our differences, while at the same time acknowledging what we don't know. To become aware of our unconscious biases, we openly discuss our opposing views & similarities and accept that there are multiple truths.
We broaden our preferences. Thinking inclusively is, therefore, having respect for the ones around us and for the environment.
Dare to make a difference
We started our business with ‘just’ a good idea. So, if you have one: we are all ears. And we will respond with “Yes, and...”.
We make room for mistakes, and we share, reflect and celebrate them because we understand that ‘learning’ drives our success. And we learn by getting out of our comfort zone.
Fail fast to learn fast. Acknowledging the tension and insecurity that comes with it. We know that failure is an opportunity to grow.
With a strong foundation, we take on challenges and write new stories. We’re inspired to inspire others. Daring to make a difference again and again.
Be one team
We value team over individual: how we get things done is just as important as what we achieve. We play to win and openly discuss options when our goals compete.
We unite to drive results for our company and customers. We connect with each other, partners, suppliers and contractors to achieve our purpose.
We cherish autonomic decision making and feel free to act on opportunities we see. Yet we are very conscious of the effect on others, as we work not for ourselves but for the team, together. Across job profiles, departments and regions, in order to achieve our company goals as one team.
