Strategy

Building a committed team to accomplish the corporate mission. Built on mutual trust and respect for our differences, we will foster a work environment where communication is open and effective. Our maximum contributions are valued and rewarded and teamwork is practiced in the support of common good. We will accept our individual responsibility for personal growth, alignment of our goals with the company’s strategies and the success of the business.

Focusing attention on customers. We will anticipate and respond quickly to the changing needs of our customers – providing quality products and services to customers inside and outside the company.

Ensuring that all operations meet the challenge of the strongest competitors. We will gain a competitive edge through superior asset management, effective cost control and effective use of technology.

Identifying and improving our key work process. We will continuously benchmark best practices, improve productivity, measure progress and communicate results and experiences.

Decentralizing decision making and accountability – We will effectively communicate corporate objectives and policies, move operational goals and decision making to strategic business units and stress the importance of meeting specific goals.

Giving high priority to environmental, public and government concerns. Compliance is not enough. We will look ahead, anticipate change and develop innovative responses to safety, environmental, public and governmental concerns.

Financial success keeps us in business. To prosper both as employees and as a corporation. We maintain the financial strength of our company and provide a competitive return to our owners.

We believe in the endless quest for excellence. Though we may be better today than we were yesterday, we are not as good as we must become. McChem chooses to be a leader – in serving our customers, advancing our technologies and rewarding all who invest in us their time, money and trust. None of us can settle for doing less than our best, and we can never stop trying to surpass what already has been achieved.

We believe in continuous renewal. A corporation endures and prospers only by moving forward. The past has given us the present to build as. But to follow our visions to the future, we must see the difference between traditions that give us continuity and strength, and conventions that no longer serve us and have the courage to act on that knowledge. Most can adapt after change has occurred. We must be among the few who anticipate change, shape it to our purpose and act as its agent.
