Together, our Mission, Purpose and Values are the foundation of our unique culture and guide the way we live and work locally and globally. They describe what we do, why we do it, and who we are - it is the essence of our commitment to our customers, shareholders, partners and each other.

OUR MISSION

Our mission provides focus to ensure that employees at all levels of our company have a clear understanding of the businesses we’re in (and aren’t in) – both today and into the foreseeable future.

The phrase “to build a sustainable future through material innovation” leverages the dual meaning of several terms. “Build” refers to the literal application of our products as well as the future we are building. “Sustainable” references both the enduring and responsible meanings of the word to describe our future-oriented activities. And “material” speaks to both the importance of our innovation efforts, as well as the manner in which we literally innovate materials to create valued product solutions.

OUR PURPOSE

Our purpose is our company’s reason for existence. It reflects our heritage and explains the “why” driving our journey as a company. As our guiding star, our purpose is inherently aspirational.

Perhaps no words describe the essence of our company more accurately than “our people and products make the world a better place.” This speaks to what drives our day-to-day activities as well as the higher purpose that propels us – professionally and personally. This phrase is intentionally broad in nature to enable every one of our employees to see themselves within it and be proud to contribute to it.

OUR VALUES

Our company values describe who we are through the lenses of what we believe and how we behave. Our values serve as our behavioral compass and are non-negotiable; they establish a set of fundamental, strategically sound, and unwavering beliefs that are applicable across the enterprise.
