Eastman Gelatin's Values have Stood the Test of Time

The reputation of our company and its brand has been built by more than 100 years of ethical business conduct, which provides Eastman Kodak and its subsidiaries with a strategic business advantage.

The company has well-established values:

• Respect for the dignity of the individual
• Uncompromising integrity
• Trust
• Credibility
• Continuous improvement and personal renewal
• Recognition and celebration

In respecting the dignity of each individual, we consistently show respect and concern for people as individuals.  We champion human differences, avoid public displays of anger and recognize and celebrate accomplishments.

We demonstrate uncompromised integrity through honest and ethical behavior and business practices. We “level” with people. And we place the success of the business and its people ahead of personal gain.

We earn the trust of others, share information freely and trust others enough to “let go”.  We give people the freedom they need to do their jobs well and we stand by them when they take risks.

Credibility is developed by taking personal responsibility for our actions and openly admitting mistakes.  We make realistic commitments to others and then deliver on those commitments.

We believe in and practice continuous improvement and personal renewal.  We seek input on what we can do to improve, and work with that input.  We make sure that people have the opportunity to learn and grow.  We recognize and encourage new ideas.

We encourage the heart through recognition and celebration.  We openly celebrate the achievement of individuals and teams of our employees, suppliers and customers for delivering results that contribute to our success.
