| Service Excellence | We place high value on our stakeholders and strive to meet their expectations and requirements by offering consistently good customer service, in both roles of support and / or oversight. |
| Team-work | We align, collaborate and communicate within and across the business units to meet the needs of our customers/stakeholders. We are committed to information and knowledge sharing. |
| Respect and Dignity | We will treat others with sensitivity, respect and have consideration for their uniqueness and personality differences and act within the law. |
