We respect the talents and abilities of others .
Our success requires us to fully leverage everyone ’ s skills and knowledge .

We must all do our best to create a workplace culture that is free of bullying , harassment , intimidation , bias , and unlawful discrimination .

The Company values diversity and inclusion . To reject someone ’ s contribution because of race or gender , for example , would be an injustice to the individual and the Company as a whole , and simply will not be tolerated .
In broad terms , diversity means respect for and appreciation of differences , but it ’ s more than this . We all bring with us diverse perspectives , ways of thinking , work experiences , lifestyles , and cultures . Within the Company , the power of diversity is unleashed when we respect and value differences .
Inclusion is being valued , respected , and supported . It ’ s about focusing on the needs of every individual and ensuring the right conditions are in place for each person to achieve his or her full potential . Inclusion is reflected in our daily actions , attitudes , practices , and relationships that are in place to support a diverse workforce .
We never discriminate or deny equal opportunity .
