Because we are separated - by many miles, by diversity of cultures and languages - we at Buckman need a clear understanding of the basic principles by which we will operate our company. These are:
That the company is made up of individuals - each of whom has different capabilities and potentials - all of which are necessary to the success of the company.
That we acknowledge that individuality by treating each other with dignity and respect - striving to maintain continuous and positive communications among all of us.
That we will recognize and reward the contributions and accomplishments of each individual.
That we will continually plan for the future so that we can control our destiny instead of letting events overtake us.
That we maintain our policy of providing work for all individuals, no matter what the prevailing business conditions may be.
That we make all decisions in the light of what is right for the good of the whole company rather than what is expedient in a given situation.
That our customers are the only reason for the existence of our company. To serve them properly, we must supply products and services which provide economic benefit over and above their cost.
That to provide high quality products and services, we must make "Creativity for our Customers" a reality in everything we do.
That we must use the highest ethics to guide our business dealings to ensure that we are always proud to be a part of Buckman Laboratories.
That we will discharge the responsibilities of corporate and individual citizenship to earn and maintain the respect of the community.
As individuals and as a corporate body we must
endeavor to uphold these standards so that we may be respected as
persons and as an organization.
