CDC VALUES AND BEHAVIOURS
The following values and behaviours have been developed through consultation with staff and management. They are
linked to best practice in the workplace and inform our policies and procedures across the Company. We encourage
everyone to reflect on their own practices in line with these values.
They represent the way in which we should all work, all of the time in whatever we do at CDC.
