COMPANY CORE VALUES

United Defense Manufacturing Corporation will be the EMPLOYER OF CHOICE in the weapons manufacturing, research, and development industry.

Our organization will embrace a culture that is FORWARD-LOOKING, RESOURCEFUL, INNOVATIVE, and RESULTS-ORIENTED.

Partnership with our Principals, Dealers, and other Stakeholders will be a key ingredient in improving business results.

We will create a work environment where our employees will be FLEXIBLE, can have the INITIATIVE to share their ideas, ACCEPT NEW RESPONSIBILITIES (not in their job description), assert their opinions, harness their potentials for PERSONAL ADVANCEMENT, sharpen their skills, and be MULTI-TASKING in the workplace. Our employees will be treated fairly and listened to in an OPEN COMMUNICATION atmosphere as they share in the pursuit of the company’s VISION and CORE VALUES.

We are proud of our Filipino spirit of “MALASAKIT” which expresses mutual respect and concern for our  Co-Employees, Customers, Principals, Dealers, and other Stakeholders. This spirit of concern and ownership of one’s work is leveraged on the employee’s sense of PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for his job, family expectations, and the company’s social responsibility as a whole. There will be no room for “crab mentality” and professional jealousies throughout the organization. Inter-personal relationships shall be based on the pursuit of the company’s VISION, MISSION, and CORE VALUES rather than on friendships in the workplace.

We will provide our Principals, Dealers, and other Stakeholders with VALUE-ADDED SERVICES which go beyond reliability as we strive to be receptive to their changing needs. We will build business relationships through professional partnerships where we exert influence and make a difference.

Our organization will stand out because of our PASSION FOR EXCELLENCE in achieving our goals. This COLLABORATION flows from our employees’ PERSONAL ACCOUNTABILITY to excel in their individual work and commitment to the SUCCESS OF THEIR CO-EMPLOYEES in the spirit of TEAMWORK. This is also reinforced by initiative, sincerity, trust, and respect for diversity in perspective and openness to persuasion.

We will be ENTREPRENEURIAL as a potent tool in gaining the competitive edge in our business, and to meet expectations of all our Principals, Dealers, and other Stakeholders. This type of LEADERSHIP will be reflected in our INNOVATION in work approach, OWNERSHIP of our actions, and hands-on URGENCY in achieving day-to-day results without losing sight of our STRATEGIC DIRECTIONS.

We shall take pride in our INTEGRITY which results from high ethical standards in conducting our business.

We will endeavor our very best to communicate our expectations and inspire adherence to these core values and standards throughout our organization.
