Excellence means relentlessly delivering quality work to the highest professional standards. We do this by staying curious and taking personal responsibility for our learning. We constantly look to improve our work through data and insight and are open to new challenges and feedback – because that’s how we develop and improve.

Courage is about being open to new ideas and being honest about the limits of our knowledge and experience. It’s about applying professional skepticism to what we see and asking questions where we have doubts. We speak up if we see something we believe is wrong and we support those who dare to speak up themselves. Courage is being bold enough to step outside of your comfort zone.

We do our best work when we do it together: in teams, across teams, and by working with others outside our organization. Working together is important because we know it’s a collaboration that shapes opinions and drives creativity. We embrace people with diverse backgrounds, skills, perspectives and life experiences and ensure different voices are heard. We show care and consideration for others and strive to create an inclusive environment where everyone feels they belong.

For better means taking a long-term view, even in our day-to-day choices, because we want to build a stronger organization for the future. We never lose sight of the importance of our role in building trust in the capital markets and in business. We make sustainable, positive changes in our local communities and in society at large, striving to make the world a better place.

We will respect each other’s values, differences, and contributions. For our customers, our team, ourselves, our community. Our team is diverse by design. We value the differences that each team member represents. We also recognize that everyone is important and has a role that matters. No individual is more important than anyone else, and no individual’s time is more valuable.
