Central to everything we do are our values:

Integrity
This is about acting ethically in all dealings both inside and outside the company and respecting both the letter and the spirit of the law. It also is the way people interact and relate with each other, the way they feel about their jobs and the quality of the work they produce.

Openness 
We seek to create an environment where people can be entirely open and honest in their reporting, feedback and ideas. We accept mistakes can happen, in order to avoid a culture where people are afraid to make decisions, while recognising the need to learn from any mistakes.

Accountability
Wesfarmers encourages a high level of accountability from its operating divisions, and consequently delegates significant authority in how those divisions are managed. Each Division is provided with a high degree of delegated decision making authority, along with an expectation of accountability for performance and protection and enhancement of our reputation.

Boldness
We have been strong and ready to make bold decisions in the past, taking advantage of the opportunities that have presented themselves; this skill must be now more prominent than ever before. Our future will be determined by our boldness in pursuit of growth and sustainability. We must be bold in our thinking, our pursuit of doing things better and in putting these thoughts into action. We need people to challenge the status quo and to be prepared to take calculated risks. Boldness requires and environment free of fear and blame, where people who put themselves ‘out there’ are supported and encouraged with an eye on the potential benefits if successful.
