Culture Behaviors

Our culture

Syensqo Culture as the root of our Employees’ Behaviors

A company like Syensqo, born with a 160 year legacy, has a strong history of culture and behaviors. However, this has not prevented us from evolving. In fact, it has worked as a catalyst to help us create a brand new Syensqo Culture aligned with our purpose and at the root of our Employee Behaviors.

 

We Explore, Advance and Impact

Explore, Advance and Impact are the three pillars of our Syensqo Culture. These translate into behaviors that encourage our employees to act in concrete ways that benefit us all.

Explore

We are curious

We push boundaries & challenge assumptions
We innovate with ingenuity

Being curious means to actively push boundaries and challenge assumptions. Curiosity drives each of us to question the status quo, take risks and stay open to possibilities. Innovating with ingenuity means to be resourceful and find new paths forward even with limited resources.


We learn, unlearn and relearn

We share knowledge and learn from others
We bounce back stronger and wiser from every setback

Learn, unlearn and relearn is about establishing a life long learning habit by sharing our knowledge and learning from others. And unlearning is not about forgetting…not at all!  It's stepping outside an old mental model and adopting  better ones that help us achieve our goals.  Relearn is embracing failure and using it as an opportunity to learn and grow. It’s about bouncing back stronger and wiser from every setback we face.

Advance

We bring different perspectives

We value different points of view
We collaborate openly

Bringing different perspectives means valuing diverse points of view within the organization as well as incorporating external insights from the market. It is also about collaborating openly where ideas and constructive feedback are shared freely, and input from all teams is encouraged.


We rise as one

We encourage safety actions, empathetic interactions, joint accountability
We recognize collective achievements

We Rise as One with safety actions, empathetic interactions and joint accountability.  Safety, physical or emotional everywhere and always! This is about a sense of joint ownership, where we recognize collective achievements because everyone is empowered to take an active role in the organization's decisions and success.

Impact

We think customer

We understand their needs
We anticipate their challenges

We think customer because we understand customer needs and anticipate their challenges. Our customers are not just drivers of our success—we are true partners, and we work closely together to deliver value and build lasting relationships.

We deliver results

We measure & track progress
We unlock shared value for ALL - company, people, planet

We deliver results when we measure and track progress and we are intentional about it. We reach our sustainability goals when we create shared value for ALL: company and people and planet.

Purpose & values

Our purpose

Our purpose is the reason we exist. It captures our greatest possible impact on the world and gives meaning to our individual and collective work.
