Our values

The guiding principles

Our values are the guiding principles for us to understand, to live and ultimately be judged by. 

The values reflect how the Corporation needs to work to deliver its four strategic pillars, while also making the Corporation a great place to work. They are incorporated into recruitment, objective setting and annual and mid-year performance reviews. 

Our values represent the essence of working in the Corporation when we are at our best – how we interact with each other and our stakeholders.  They're a shared code that everyone can feel is key for a thriving organisation. 


Our 3 values are

We are brave

When we are brave, we demonstrate leadership. 

We have the confidence to challenge, question and put forward new ideas. 

We don't just kick the ball down the road, we ask ourselves what is really going to move the dial to make the Corporation, the market and wider society better than it is today.

We are stronger together

When we work together, we share expertise, seek diverse perspectives and bring brilliant minds together to solve complex problems. 

Together we are greater than our component parts - innovation and ambition are powered by collaboration and inclusivity.

We do the right thing

We take action because we care about what is right and we want to leave the Corporation, the market and communities in a better place than we found them. 

We earn trust by delivering on our commitments. 

We support each other to speak up and listen, and we make decisions that are informed, responsible and fair.

​Our purpose, sharing risk to create a braver world, is why we exist

Our four pillars of performance, digitalisation, purpose and culture represent what we need to deliver - our strategy. 

Our values reflect how we need to work to deliver on our commitments, whilst also making the Corporation a great place to work.
