Our key values
Underlying our core value is our resolve and determination to meet the many targets and commitments involved in moving towards sustainable development. In time, seven core values emerged and were agreed to embody both the personal and professional aspirations of our staff. At the very heart of this formalized set of values, was 'leadership' which it was felt could be practiced by everyone in the organization, whatever their role.
Today, we can look back on that period as a major turning point in the company's history. We can refer to our recent achievements and say that focusing on these values has made an enormous contribution to our success.
The Key Values are:
- Leadership
- Performance
- Commercial focus
- Honesty and integrity
- Personal development
- Being a good citizen
- Teamwork
Our business principles
Our Principles are part of everything we do. The Axflo General Business Principles (AGBP) was revised in January 2010 to take account of our proposed business relationship with the major oil companies.
The Axflo General Business Principles have existed in their written form since inception, and have remained highly consistent ever since, because the core values on which the Principles were originally based have endured. The changes are largely revisions rather than radical alterations as the existing principles still represent the way Axflo wishes to do business, but some areas have been strengthened.
We have eight Principles, which apply to all our business affairs and describe the behavior expected of every employee. The Principles are based on our core values of honesty, integrity and respect for people. They also indicate how we promote trust, openness, teamwork and professionalism, and pride in what we do. As a company we have a responsibility to be a good corporate citizen: to listen and respond to all points of view.
The key changes in Axflo and in society that have now to be taken into account in revising the principles this year are:
- The emphasis on compliance
- Growing concern about security in the Niger Delta
- Emphasis on social performance and engagement with communities
- Diversity and inclusiveness
- A focus on dialogue as opposed to the dissemination of information
- Development of sustainable development principles
All Axflo staff and partners are expected to comply with the Principles as a matter of course. In partnership agreements, joint ventures, we use our influence to persuade our partners to adopt and apply principles consistent with ours. We also expect contractors to conform to the Principles in all aspects of their work with Axflo companies.
A principled approach to business is a key to Axflo’s long-term success.
