WHAT IS TRULY GREAT?
When we get those three areas right, we will be a truly great company.
But what does truly great mean? It breaks down like this:
1. Great Place to Work
A strong foundation of values that guides what we do. A place where people have opportunities to develop and grow throughout their careers. The knowledge that we’re making a meaningful contribution every day. The great feeling of being part of a winning team.
2. Great Financial Results
Relentless focus on flawless execution every day. A total shareholder return that beats our competitors, despite market conditions.
3. Great Sustainable Products
Pride in the products we make, which make life better for millions of people, and which come from a sustainable, natural resource that we've managed carefully for more than a century.
4. Great Commitment to Community
A commitment to giving back to our operating communities through philanthropy and volunteerism.
