To my valued staff members at Level-(1) Global Solutions:
Since September 17, 2001, our success has been based on a core set of beliefs, behaviors and values that have transcended both the test of time and geographies. From our earliest days as technology pioneers to our position today as a infrastructure technology leader—collaborating with our clients to help them become high-performance businesses and governments—Level-(1) Global Solutions’ men and women have always been committed to upholding the highest professional and ethical standards.
Level-(1) Global Solutions has six core values that are enduring and differentiating, and they continue to serve us well as an organization:
- Stewardship
- Best People
- Client Value Creation
- One Global Network
- Respect for the Individual
- Integrity
These simple, yet powerful values have continually guided our decision making, as well as our interactions with our clients, the communities in which we work and each other, in pursuit of our vision: To become one of Chicago’s leading companies, bringing innovations to improve the way the world works and lives.
The most important thing about our core values is that we live them through our actions. This is one of the reasons we refocused and relaunched Level-(1) Global Solutions' Code of Business Ethics with our core values as the centerpiece. The Code is a critical part of operating Level-(1) Global Solutions as a high-performance business.
I hope you will find the Code to be a practical, user-friendly resource. Together with the Level-(1) Global Solutions Leadership Statement, the Code describes many of the types of behaviors and actions associated with living our core values. It also includes a model for making ethical decisions.
Everyone at Level-(1) Global Solutions has a role in protecting our company, our reputation and our brand. We must educate ourselves in this area—not just to ensure we comply with laws and policies but also to ensure that we have the best tools and resources to practice ethical decision making with clear accountability. This is about each individual stepping up as a leader and a role model to help foster an ethical environment and maintain the high standards that underpin our reputation.
Along with our people, our brand and reputation are the most precious things we have as a company, and we have an obligation to protect them by upholding our core values and Code of Business Ethics.
On behalf of our board of advisors, I want to thank you for your continuing efforts to live our core values and follow our Code of Business Ethics every day.
