  • Each person’s potential for growth is supported through a culture of learning.
  • Equity, diversity and inclusion are part of our DNA and embedded in all decision-making.
  • People’s contributions and accomplishments are recognized and celebrated.
  • Health and well-being are priorities; we build institutional and individual capacity and resilience.
