As part of our 70th anniversary celebration, we gathered the company to collaboratively develop and update our core values. By involving our employees in defining the key words that best represent REC’s corporate culture, we agreed on the following guiding principles:
Responsibility
• Act and make decisions with the commitment of an REC owner
• Actively seek ways to collaborate and support the development of your colleagues
Openness
• Contribute to a sense of belonging and inclusion
• Acknowledge your mistakes – but learn from them
Professionalism
• Be someone others can trust
• Treat colleagues with respect, even when you disagree
• Only say things about colleagues that you would say to them directly
Impact
• Prioritize long-term decisions over short-term gains
• Focus on sustainability
• Get to know and understand your customer
• Strive for continuous improvement – it’s always okay to try
