EQUALITY: The ABSi Fairness Doctrine

Core Values are those beliefs that are not negotiable, central to the conduct of all corporate operations and the basis from which all decisions are validated. The single most important core value within this organization is our Fairness Doctrine: In the conduct of all our practices one requirement exists: If it is fair to both parties, it is correct.

  • We must treat our customers with respect and consideration and they must in turn, reciprocate.
  • We must treat our employees with respect and consideration and they must in turn, reciprocate.
  • We must treat our vendors with respect and consideration and they must in turn, reciprocate.

Fairness invariably leads to respect, courtesy and consideration between the parties. From this basic tenet, lasting relationships will thrive.
