Our 5-point culture statement articulates these values:
- We achieve and maintain superior Responsible Care performance
We believe that the health and safety of our employees and their families at work and at home are critical parts of maintaining an enthusiastic and productive workforce. We also manage our business on the premise that all incidents that could result in harm to people, property or the environment can be prevented.
- We focus on results
NOVA Chemicals works in a fast-paced environment of constant change. One thing that does not change, however, is the level of energy we bring to executing our business strategy. Our leadership is committed to results, and we reward employees based on contribution and performance.
- We work for our customers
Our Customer Advocacy Process provides the framework from which we are able to learn and grow through customer comments. We believe that working for our customers will help us deliver on our commitment to be the lowest-cost producer and ultimately make our company stronger and more profitable. With greater strength and profitability come improved returns for shareholders, improved service and products for customers and greater job satisfaction.
- We adapt quickly to the constant change that will shape our success
The chemicals and plastics industries are dynamic and fast changing. A strong, healthy capacity for change allows us to keep pace with a rapidly evolving marketplace and uniquely positions us to seize opportunities.
- We value our people and treat them with dignity and respect, openness and honesty
We value everyone's unique contributions and work to create an environment of mutual respect, with the right blend of speed, collaboration, flexibility and level of involvement. We recognize and support diversity through various programs and practices.
