Plibrico Company Core Values

The following six core values reflect what is truly important to us as an organization. These are not values that change from time to time, situation to situation or person to person, but rather they are the underpinning of our company culture.

Honesty, Integrity, Trust and Respect

We trust and respect each other, even when we disagree. Our integrity is important to us. We do not compromise it. We believe in doing the right thing.

Safety

We share a personal and professional commitment to protecting the safety and health of our employees, customers and the people of the communities in which we operate.

Positive Attitude

We exhibit a “can do” attitude as we perform our responsibilities and interact with our colleagues and customers.

Fairness

We commit to being fair to our customers, suppliers, employees and shareholders.

Customer Driven

While the customer may not always be right, they are our customers and without them, we wouldn’t exist. By operating within the framework of our core values, Plibrico and its employees will go out of their way to do what’s right.

Employee Focus

We will provide our employees with opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally. Teamwork, collaboration and accountability will be a priority and we will encourage the expression of new ideas to improve.
