- Use financial, natural and social resources in an efficient and economic manner.
- Likely lead their industries toward sustainability by setting standards for best practice, demonstrating commitment, and maintaining superior performance in all respects.
- Set the highest standards of corporate governance, including management responsibility, organizational capability, and a wholesome, ethical corporate culture.
- Meet shareholders' demands for sound financial returns, long-term growth and productivity increases, sharpened global competitiveness and contributions to ethical capital.
- Secure a long-term licence to operate by responding to stakeholders' changing needs, thus fostering superior customer and employee loyalty.
