reason we’re in business. So we set priorities based on the question: “How
will this serve them?” We owe Customers our very best efforts and do whatever
it takes to keep them coming back by really listening to them, anticipating
their needs, and by being first to offer them the best. We move on Customer needs
and requests with a sense of urgency — at the “speed of retail.” Dignity and Respect We see and value the
uniqueness of every individual and believe everyone deserves to be treated
with dignity and respect. When we interact with Customers, we make them feel
Welcome, Important, and Appreciated. For some of us, the “Customers” are
Associates in our stores. We treat fellow Associates with the dignity and
respect deserving of any member of the A&P family. When we see our
colleagues treating people right, we praise in public. When we see behavior
that misses the mark, we counsel in private and with kindness. Talent Investment We believe that when you
build the people, they will build the business. So we choose to invest in our
people by continually providing opportunities for development. We encourage
our Associates to continually seek out fresh ideas and approaches. We are a
culture of “responsible learners” who identify our skill gaps and fill them
in with self-learning. Building our knowledge base and sharing it with others
will help our Company innovate and grow. Whenever possible, we promote from
within. Integrity People want to do business
with those they can trust. To earn that trust, we are true to our word and
keep our promises. We are honest to a fault. We tell the truth, even when it
hurts. Because we hold ourselves to the highest ethical standard in our words
and deeds, and we welcome scrutiny from our business partners, our
shareholders, and the general public. We are committed to being an upstanding
corporate citizen in the communities we serve. Accountability Each of us makes a daily
contribution to the success of our Company. In that sense, we are all owners.
We show our pride in ownership by taking responsibility for all aspects of
our work. We follow through completely and measure our results. Each
Associate has the responsibility to look, see, and act to make our Company
stronger. When we see a problem, we not only fix the problem — we fix the
cause. We base our work on data, not feelings. We know our Customers and we
know our numbers. Teamwork We work as a team, because
while any individual idea or effort may be great, collaboration will only
make it better. The most important job of any manager is to develop people to
be experts and leaders themselves. This is how we will build strong teams.
Company leaders keep an “open door” to suggestions and new ideas from
Associates. It’s more fun to win. When a job is well done, we celebrate
successes and share in the rewards — together. Sustainability We are a good neighbor. We
make a positive mark on the environment we work in, so it’s a better place
for our having been there. We stay connected to the community through
charitable giving and service. We especially support programs that make a
difference in the lives of children — our most precious resource. Doing good for the communities we serve is good for business.
We’re committed to offering products, information, and incentives that help
our Customers do the right thing for their families and the environment.
Sustainability guides our long-range planning. We make business decisions
that are designed to help our company prosper for another 150 years. |
