How — and why — we do business

Our values

We live and breathe our values every single day — not just for ourselves, but for our consumers and our communities, too.

Consumer, Company, Team, Self

We lean on each other to succeed. Understanding different viewpoints and celebrating our coworkers' wins lead to stronger decisions and teams.

Relentless Self-Improvement

We take responsibility for getting better every day. We humbly embrace what we don't know and aren't afraid to ask questions.

Open, Candid, and Constructive

We are active participants in every interaction. We share feedback with clarity and receive feedback with courage.

Informed Risk-Taking

We set actionable goals that challenge the status quo, knowing it’s safe to fail so long as we learn along the way.

Ownership

We ask, “What can I do to improve the results?” and view challenges as opportunities to find the right solution.
