Every day, our employees demonstrate their commit- ment to our corporate values. We take our culture seri- ously and provide ongoing training to constantly rein- force our responsibilities to our customers, our commu- nities, and to each other. This is nothing new to our Company; we have always followed these guiding prin- ciples in all our dealings. In 2002, we updated our val- ues and instituted training programs that most of our management have attended. This program acts as a periodic reinforcement of our corporate values, across the Company. We consider these values so important that we’ve again devoted to them a full page in our Annual Report.
