The McWane Way Compass
The McWane Way Compass is provided as a personal guide to help team members navigate through situations they encounter daily at work. As part of the renewed focus on The McWane Way, all team members are expected to know these principles, values, and behaviors.
The McWane Way
The McWane Way ensures higher levels of safety and environmental performance in all our operations. It also improves communications, relationships, and work performance at all levels of our organization. The McWane Way Compass includes eight core principles to guide our team members:
- Safety
- Environment
- Accountability
- Excellence
- Trust
- Teamwork
- Communication
- Leadership
"We are about doing the right thing. This is exemplified in the McWane Way, that will take our company to the highest level of corporate responsibility. We must work hard to ensure that these principles remain ingrained in our culture, so that they define our management, operations, products, customer service, and our personal relationships." My great grandfather wrote these words almost 100 years ago. It’s the foundation upon which this company was built. It’s part of The McWane Way, a core philosophy first outlined by him in 1920 encompassing integrity, competence, respect, and fairness.
