Our values
Our values – developed together as an organisation – make it clear how each and every one of us work to meet our mission – to make the discoveries that defeat cancer.
Our six values are:
Pursuing excellence: We aspire to excellence in everything we do, and aim to be leaders in our fields.
Acting with integrity: We promote an open and honest environment that gives credit and acknowledges mistakes, so that our actions stand up to scrutiny.
Valuing all our people: We value the contribution of all our people, help them reach their full potential, and treat everyone with kindness and respect.
Working together: We collaborate with colleagues and partners to bring together different skills, resources and perspectives.
Leading innovation: We do things differently in ways that no one else has done before, and share the expertise and learning we gain.
Making a difference: We all play our part, doing a little bit more, a little bit better, to help improve the lives of people with cancer.
