Mission, Vision and Values Revamp

We are a values-driven organization. Working toward our mission and vision, we are built on a solid foundation of guiding principles. Still today, our values reflect the thinking of our founders, and of course, have been updated in small ways to reflect how our business has changed and developed over time.

For years, we have had mission and vision statements, and core values. As an employeeowned company, these statements and values have been a driving force in helping us become who we are. They inform our long-term strategy as a company as well as how we serve our clients on a daily basis. Every fiscal year, our leadership team revisits these statements. We go through this exercise yearly to ensure they’re aligned with where we’re at as a company as well as where we’re headed. This year, some changes were made. Working toward our mission and vision, we are built on a solid foundation of our beliefs and core values.

These statements are listed on our website, on important business materials like our sustainability report, and will be showcased on posters in our office and corporate office.

For us, our mission statement describes why we exist and why we come to work every day. Our vision statement explains where we’re headed. Our set of values serves as a driving force toward our vision and guiding our work daily.

Our employee owners are the key to our success. Each team member exemplifies our values and actively works toward our vision and mission in all they do. We are fortunate to have developed a positive, unique organizational culture; having a defined mission, vision and values has aided in this success.
