Values

Our values drive a culture of progress and belonging. We’re innovative – we progress through embracing new perspectives and inspiring each other. We do this by caring – taking the time to build relationships that are grounded in understanding, fairness and respect. And we’re collaborative – never losing sight of the shared goal that unites us and drives us forward.

Employee wellbeing

We are committed to ensuring that all our business operations meet or exceed industry standards relating to environmental, health and safety (EHS) management. Ensuring the health and safety of our employees is paramount in everything that we do. Across all our locations we adhere to stringent health and safety guidelines and monitor all work-related incidents.

Policy positions

Diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I)

We continue to advance DE&I, furthering our commitment to a culture of progress and belonging that provides all employees with opportunities for personal and professional growth. Much of the work we have done to promote DE&I has been guided through our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) including the Black Employees Advisory Board and the Hikma Women’s Network.
