1. Equality
We believe in equality. We are committed to providing our people with opportunities for unsurpassed personal and professional growth in a collaborative and diverse culture.

This diversity of insight and experience enriches both our own culture and, in turn, how we serve customers. We always strive to do better.
2. Respect
We respect the capacity and desire for personal growth, as well as the talents and beliefs of customers, colleagues, and all other people we meet in the course of our work. Regardless of position, we treat people with consideration. We value ideas on their merit, not on the tenure of their source.

November 22, of every year, will now be known as the Global Day of Influence. We can’t compel or force people and companies and governments to be and do better. But as we enter the age of influence, there’s no better time to begin discussing and activating the resources that will drive us towards the kind of leadership we desperately need. The kind of direction we need for our lives, for our families, for our nations, for our world.
The world is in crisis. From Washington to Kigali; from London to Beirut. From Johannesburg to Abu Dhabi. We are facing a crisis of leadership, at a time when the world is in desperate need for great leadership. We are drowning in fake news and propaganda; at a time when we have the most advanced technology to disseminate information to create a better world.
What will tomorrow look like? What kind of future are we creating? What world will we leave behind for unborn generations? Throwing a spotlight on influence, will help call everyone to action; inspire interventions; establish goals and plans to accomplish them; and reemphasize the role we have to play – as individuals; as organisations; as an industry.
That’s why November 22, of every year, will be recognized as the Global day of Influence. People and companies and governments cannot be forced or compelled to be and do better. But as we enter the age of influence, there’s no better time to begin discussing and activating the resources that will drive us towards the kind of leadership we so badly need. The kind of direction we need for our lives, for our families, for our nations. The kind of direction we so badly need for our world.
