Values

HONESTY & INTEGRITY: We will not say things that are false. We will never deliberately mislead. We will be as candid as possible, openly and freely sharing information, as appropriate to the relationship.

FAIRNESS: We will create and follow a process and achieve outcomes that a reasonable person would call just, evenhanded and nonarbitrary.

RESPECT FOR OTHERS: We will be open and direct in our communication, and receptive to influence. We will honor and value the abilities and contributions of others, embracing the responsibility and accountability for our actions in this regard.

RESPECT FOR COMMUNITY: We will ensure that local residents, women and people of color are included among our contractors and referrals. We will provide Pro Bono services for select projects. We will be active members and supporters of our communities. We will take the time to get to know our neighbors.

RESPECT FOR THE ENVIRONMENT: We will limit our use of natural resources as much as possible. We will use recycled paper and will recycle paper. We will encourage the transfer of documents via email vs. fax or mail (to save paper).

COMPASSION: We will maintain an awareness of the needs of others and act to meet those needs whenever possible. We will also minimize harm whenever possible. We will act in ways that are consistent with our commitment to social responsibility.
