Our Guiding Principles
The success of Koch is rooted in the application of proven principles of human progress. The better we’ve understood and applied these principles, such as mutual benefit, comparative advantage and creative destruction, the more we’ve grown by helping others succeed. Principle Based Management™ is the business philosophy and framework developed by Charles Koch that we apply to innovate, improve and transform ourselves and our businesses to create greater value. Our future success depends on continuing to improve our ability to do so.
Our Values, which are derived from principles of human progress, define who we are as an organization. They empower each of us to realize our potential by maximizing our contributions. Each of us has a responsibility to live by them daily. They are essential for the creation of virtuous cycles of mutual benefit.
Integrity
Having the courage to always act with integrity.
Stewardship & Compliance
Act with proper regard for the rights of others, especially regarding safety and the environment. Comply with all laws and regulations. Stop, think and ask.
Principles Entrepreneurship™
Create virtuous cycles of mutual benefit by becoming a preferred partner of customers, employees, suppliers, communities and other core constituencies. Continually seek to identify and close the gaps between what you are and what you could be accomplishing if you were fully applying Principle Based Management™.
Transformation
Transform yourself and help the company and others to do the same. Develop the visions, strategies, capabilities, products and services that will enable us to satisfy unmet needs and create superior value.
Knowledge
Seek and acquire the best knowledge from any and all sources that will enable you to innovate and improve results. Share your knowledge proactively. Provide and solicit challenge consistently and respectfully.
Humility
Be humble, intellectually honest and deal with reality constructively. Develop an accurate sense of self-worth based on your strengths, limitations and contributions. Hold yourself and others accountable to these standards.
Respect
Treat everyone with honesty, dignity, respect and sensitivity. Include and embrace different perspectives, experiences, aptitudes, knowledge and skills in order to leverage the power of diversity.
Self-Actualize
Be all you can be. Identify, develop and apply your gifts and passions so you can best contribute in ways that are most meaningful to you. Be a lifelong learner.
Mutually beneficial development
We have proven success in developing licencing technologies. A great example being our PTA technology, which we’ve been advancing for the last three decades to enable plants to demonstrate year-on-year industry-leading performance, operational reliability and environmental stewardship. We have done this through not only the skills and experience of our team but also our pilot plants, which play a key role in developing our current technologies and the ones we’re yet to develop. We can be your partner of choice to develop your product and grow our portfolio.
Responsible stewardship
We’re committed to our management and stewardship frameworks which drive our ESG (environmental, social and governance) approach and need to establish technology that adds value to society. It is this that drives our focus on integrating sustainable practices across our operations and minimizing our impact while driving innovation and efficiency. See how we’re working to use our resources responsibly and lead the way in sustainability across the industry.
