Black & Veatch Core Values
At Black & Veatch, we build strong relationships with each other, our clients
and our business partners based on seven fundamental values:
Integrity – As we operate in an intensely competitive
environment, we compete fairly, conducting our business in a professional manner
that reflects favorably on our company and on each of us. We hold ourselves to the
Black & Veatch code of conduct no matter where we operate.
Shared Ownership – We build value for our shareholders
and we share the results of the company's success with those who produce it.
Common Purpose – We operate from a common purpose
and the broad view, doing what is best for the company as a whole, working with
mutual trust and collaboration.
Stewardship – In keeping with our founding principles,
we honor other Black & Veatch professionals — past, present and future — by striving to
grow the company’s value and vitality, and by our commitment to sustainability and the
environment, and our support of the communities in which we work during our temporary
stewardship of the company.
Respect – We are sincere, fair and forthright,
treating others with dignity and respecting their individual differences, feelings
and contributions.
Accountability – We set high performance expectations
and hold ourselves accountable for the quality of our work and the results we achieve
as individuals, as team members and as a company.
Entrepreneurship – We encourage nontraditional
thinking and appropriate risk-taking, which provide opportunities to learn and grow
as individuals and as businesses.
