Core Operating Principles
The PaperlinX Core Operating Principles provide a common direction for the Group, giving guidance to all employees and encouraging alignment across our businesses and people.
Strengthen then build off existing business platforms
Building the strength of our businesses requires dedication and focus, and is necessary to improve our competitiveness. As we continuously improve existing businesses, we also create stronger platforms for future growth.
Productivity to provide funds to improve sustainability and growth
Investments in our facilities, our systems, our brands and our people all need funding; we need continuous productivity to provide the funds to support these investments that will make us a stronger company for the future.
Simplification
Ensuring that we continually work to simplify what we do and how we do it will enable businesses to focus on their strengths resulting in improved efficiencies from their efforts.
Actively prioritise activities based on value creation for our customers, suppliers and for PaperlinX
We all must seek to add value for our customers, our suppliers or for PaperlinX as a whole, and find alternative options for those activities that don't achieve this.
Fully leverage our global opportunities
Supporting each other, PaperlinX businesses or our global opportunities ensures we fully benefit from the combined people and business resources in PaperlinX.
Invest in our people and their skills
Supporting and growing our people and their skills makes for a stronger and more capable company.
Compliance is mandatory
There is a line that divides what is right and wrong. Understand it and don't cross it in relation to competitive behaviour, employee safety or environmental issues in particular.
Results oriented teamwork/success as a team
Small groups of people, well focused on a problem, will almost always help each other to find a better result.
