Employee Engagement that incorporates multiple channels for employee dialog in order to build a differentiated team culture, where employees want to stay and develop their skills over the long-term, and includes market competitive compensation and benefits within a framework that holistically addresses employees’ needs and creates bonds that foster productive working relationships.
Supply Chain standards that hold suppliers to the same ESG standards we hold for ourselves as a member of the Responsible Business Alliance, covering responsible sourcing, workers’ rights, environmental protection, and ethical conduct, among other areas.
International Certifications that demonstrate to customers that we operate according to the highest ESG standards by maintaining robust management systems that are certified according to international standards that include ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 for quality, ISO 14001 for environmental management, ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety, and TLS-8001 for labor rights.
