Our Foundation
From the very beginning, our competitive advantage has always been our people. Our people are simply… different. Different in how we treat our customers, how we work with each other and in the results that we achieve. These differences are best captured in the 25 Fundamental Principles that are the bedrock of our unique culture.
#1 Act in the Best Interest of the Customer
In our business, the "customer" is not always the contractor purchasing the material. Sometimes it's the building owner, the General Contractor, or even an internal employee. While the decisions you make affect everyone in the supply chain, it's imperative you stay focused on doing what's best for the ultimate customer.
#9 Honor Commitments
Be reliable and deliver on your commitments every time. Do what you say you're going to do, when you say you're going to do it. If a commitment can't be fulfilled, notify others early and agree on a new commitment to be honored.
#14 Collaborate
Collaboration generates better ideas than working alone. Be inclusive of your teammates and open to different perspectives that may challenge your way of thinking. Be willing to ask for help, rather than finding yourself alone on an island.
#18 Be a Technical Professional
Our customers buy our products, but they're really buying our expertise. Be a lifelong learner that knows our products and those of our competitors better than anyone else. Be the expert in your field and constantly challenge yourself to learn more.
#24 Celebrate Success
Catching people doing things right is more effective than catching them doing things wrong. Regularly extend meaningful acknowledgement and appreciation - in all directions throughout our company.
