Our commitment to technological innovation and improvement is a core value. For this reason we are also committed to ensuring that we manage our business ethically, safely and sustainably. We have a responsibility:
- to conduct business with integrity and comply with all applicable laws, adhering to a strict code of ethics and business conduct;
- to protect the health and safety of our employees, our communities and the general public, and to operate our facilities in such a way as to prevent environmental damage;
- to minimize the vulnerability and reinforce the security of our plants and facilities; and
- to conduct our operations in a way that promotes the social and economic development of the communities in which we operate.
From our beginnings, we have tried to serve our customers’ changing needs, understanding that we must earn their trust and confidence by meeting the highest standards and delivering on our commitments. These values extend to all aspects of our business conduct.
Valuing Diversity
Valuing diversity is, essentially, knowing how to appreciate the differences and contributions of others. To achieve this, we must create an environment where each person feels able to make their own contributions and personal development within the company.
More than simply “correctness”, valuing diversity is one of our cornerstones. We see cultural differences as an opportunity rather than a barrier, as our company can only benefit from different perspectives and motivations.
Below, we have set out the principles that guide our diversity policies:
- For FMC Foret to be a globally competitive company, it is essential that we all learn to value and benefit from our cultural, racial and gender differences.
- Our long-term economic success depends on our constant ability to create a workplace that enables employees to develop their full potential.
- We must make a constant effort to create a workplace that values staff diversity, facilitates continuous development, favors teamwork and creates confidence and good communication.
- Each of us must value and respect the variety of qualities and experiences of others, ignoring the differences that are irrelevant to business.
- We all have to ensure that each FMC Foret employee develops their full potential and that people are treated with respect.
- We must all constantly encourage understanding and acceptance of the values arising from a mixture of differing abilities and points of view.
