Respect
All stakeholders are treated with trust, dignity, and respect.
The knowledge that every human being is precious and deserves respect guides our behaviour.
This is why we treat others the way we want to be treated.
While we recognise that painful conversations are sometimes essential, we do it in a way that preserves the dignity of the other person.
We enable people to express their opinions, even if they differ from or contradict our own.
We value, respect, and accept diversity and difference. We do not allow unpleasant, aggressive, or demeaning behaviour, and we support one another.

Respecting others develops trust, helps people discover common ground, settles conflict, and fosters collaboration as a cohesive team - all of which are important components in problem solving and business solutions. Respecting variety and individuality enables for idea sharing across the organisation, allowing us to solve problems and meet objectives. It is also essential for preserving our reputation. This contributes to our long-term viability.
