Our Corporate Culture

No matter where we are doing business and with whom weare dealing, our global corporate culture
is based on the same principles – in making decisions, in relations with everyone who has a stake
in the company’s success, in dealing with each other, in the provision of information and in
communications well as in assessing performance. Our corporate culture is based on the moral
values and attitudes that characterize the behavior of all our staff and consequently the image of
Walter Meier.

Open Minded   We look at everyone and everything in an   unbiased manner, without prejudice. We think   globally when considering business opportunities   around the world. Our innovations are the result of   our enthusiasm for leading-edge concepts and   technologies.

Dynamic   We are quick to act and respond. We do not wait to   be prompted into action by others but instead   act on our own initiative. We do not let   bureaucracy slow us down and instead strive to   act in a decisive manner.

Cooperative   We are unselfish in constantly focusing on the   common interest. We adapt to situations flexibly   to improve our teamwork. We are reliable in   keeping our promises.

Straightforward   We are uncomplicated in our dealings and are   prepared to give honest and straightforward   answers. We are willing to follow the other   person's train of thought so as to make ourselves   comprehensible. Because we are concise, we do   not waste time.

Result-Oriented   Because we are focused, we can concentrate on   what is essential. We are tenacious, unyielding   and push forward to our goals. We are satisfied   only when our determination leads to consistently   good results.
