The
mission of Kottke to provide society
with superior and uninterrupted distribution of life necessities by developing
innovated and creative distribution methods and to provide employees with
meaningful work and advancement opportunities, and investors with an
appropriate rate of return.
1. Our business is supplying society. All of our actions must be measured
by our success in achieving this goal. We value, above all, our ability to
serve everyone who can benefit from the appropriate use of our products and
services, thereby providing lasting consumer satisfaction.
2. We are committed to the highest
standards of ethics and integrity. We are responsible to our customers, to Kottke employees and their families, to
the environments we inhabit, and to the societies we serve nationwide. In
discharging our responsibilities, we do not take professional or ethical
shortcuts. Our interactions with all segments of society must reflect the high
standards we profess.
3. We are dedicated to the highest
level of developmental excellence and commit our efforts to improving
transportation processes. We strive to identify the most critical needs of consumers
and customers, and we devote our resources to meeting those needs.
4. We expect profits, but only from
work that satisfies customer needs and benefits humanity. Our ability to meet our
responsibilities depends on maintaining a financial position that invites
investment in leading-edge developments and that makes possible effective
delivery of superior results.
We
recognize that the ability to excel -- to most competitively meet society's and
customers' needs -- depends on the integrity, knowledge, imagination, skill,
diversity and teamwork of our employees, and we value these qualities most
highly. To
this end, we strive to create an environment of mutual respect, encouragement
and teamwork -- an environment that rewards commitment and performance and is
responsive to the needs of our employees and their families.
