Our Principles

Our Business Principles are embraced by all people that work for our Group, and we want to be recognised on these values by our Clients and by the people and organisations that collaborate with us.

Adherence to the Highest Standards of Professional Excellence
In our work we adhere to the highest professional standards and methods, and we have an uncompromising determination to achieve excellence in the projects that we undertake for our Clients. By imposing high standards on ourselves, working continuously on the improvement of our methods and fully understanding the business issues of our clients, we will receive loyalty, confidence and recognition from our Clients, and it will enable us to confirm our reputation as one of the world’s leading organisations in our field.

Making Improvements to our Clients' Performance
We aim to assist organisations with making significant and lasting improvements to their performance. We do so by constantly building our clients' capabilities. Our Clients' interests always come first, and we constantly strive to anticipate the changing needs of our clients and to develop new services to meet those needs.

Sharing Knowledge
Knowledge refers to everything from data and information to insights and understanding. The collective body of our knowledge constitutes Expantium’s intellectual capital. Our employees are responsible for sharing this with other colleagues, as well as making sure that they avail themselves of this knowledge. In doing so, we are better positioned to offer lasting solutions to our Clients.

Integrity and Confidentiality
Integrity means that we firmly adhere to a set of moral values. It means being sound, complete, and honest in the activities that we undertake. We apply integrity in the way we handle our clients, the way we treat our colleagues, and the way we make decisions on a day-to-day basis. We expect our people to maintain the highest ethical standards in everything they do, both in their work for our company and in their personal lives. Expantium employees and project-related staff may not engage in activities that will compromise, or appear to compromise the integrity of our work and we are dedicated to complying fully with the letter and spirit of the laws, rules and ethical principles that govern us. Our continued success depends upon the adherence to this standard. We regularly receive confidential information as part of our normal client relationships, and will treat this with the greatest confidentiality, integrity and care, as this constitutes one of the core values or our organisation.

Cultural Diversity
Expantium is an international organisation where diversity is considered as strength and a source for constant innovation. For us to be successful, our people must reflect the diversity of the communities and cultures in which we operate. This enhances our ability to develop lasting and leading-edge solutions for our clients, and we are enriched by the variety of knowledge, experience, personalities and backgrounds that our people bring to us.

Attracting and Developing People
We actively create and monitor an environment where people can learn and grow, and by offering the means to develop them. We assist with advice, and secure an atmosphere of openness where we can learn from ourselves and from others. We recognize and actively promote the idea, that people can deliver maximum performance when they are excited and challenged by the contents of their work, and are given the means to improve themselves and exceed their own expectations.

Respect
We respect all people we work with: in the organisations of our Clients, our Suppliers, and our employees and collaborating staff across all hierarchical levels. Respect is the basis for communication and working together. The opinion of our people reflects our greatest assets, and our respect for people is independent of this as we judge people on behavior. For people who put their own interests above that of our Clients and our company, there is no place in our organisation.

Assets and Returns
Our goal is to provide superior returns to our shareholders. Profitability is critical to achieving superior returns, and to preserving and building our assets. Our assets are our people, capital, accumulated knowledge, systems and reputation.
