Our people

At Artius, we believe that human capital is critical to our success and ongoing international growth. Over the years, we have been fortunate to work with some of the most talented and hard-working professionals in our industry; individuals who have helped our company grow and whom we have helped improve and evolve. Relationships built on a mutual passion for excellence and sustained on a mutual sense of trust and support.
Our people are aligned with the company’s strategy and goals, they share its values and adhere to its operating principles, both personally and professionally. This is who we are and that is what we look for in our future relationships.

Our values

Our mission is to be an exemplary signage business that delivers solutions of exceptional quality and value, promptly and reliably. To be pioneers in everything we do. To excite our partners and inspire our competitors.

The following values are what we believe in and what we expect of our people and partners; behavioral characteristics and standards that anyone who represents Artius, regardless of their level or role, must share.

Reliability

As a company, we go to great lengths to stay reliable and trustworthy to our customers, partners and coworkers. We have come to realize that, in our line of work, reliability is a scarce resource and one of the most important differentiating factors among companies or professionals. We deliver on our commitments, we are consistent, we treat each other professionally. Being part of a team or a project means that others rely on us to deliver on our commitments, in terms of time, quality and quantity. Doing less is not respecting our coworkers or partners.

We deliver on our commitments, we are consistent, we act professionally.

Hard Work + Continuous Improvement

We must continuously endeavor to improve our products, the way they are designed, manufactured, delivered and presented, the efficiency and effectiveness of our processes and operations, the way we work and communicate with each other, our contingencies. Improvement entails questioning, researching, organizing and learning. Improvement entails trying, failing, refining, innovating. Continuous improvement is no ordinary feat, but we don’t want to be an ordinary company.

Continuous improvement is no ordinary feat but we are not an ordinary company.

Professionalism

The conduct of our company and employees must be pursued in a truly professional manner. Professionalism is a lot more than etiquette, appearance and our demeanor. It is about integrity: performing our duties in an ethical manner while maintaining relationships with our customers, coworkers and suppliers based on truthfulness and honesty. Being transparent and just with our decisions; resilient and trustworthy. It is about accountability and responsibility: functioning to the fullest of our potential every day and delivering nothing less than what is expected from us, no later than when it is expected. Taking personal accountability when things go wrong and welcoming criticism in order to ultimately remedy the issues. It is about competence: standing out from the competition by becoming experts in our field and presenting our point with confidence. It is about teamwork and conformity: following policy and clearly communicating and cooperating with our coworkers and partners to achieve our common goal.

The conduct of our employees must be pursued in a truly professional manner.

Good Citizenship

At Artius we do not only want to perform well but to behave well. We operate in a way that is respectful towards our coworkers, our partners and customers and sustainable for our company and the society we live in. We play by the rules. We regularly set new goals to reduce our environmental footprint and we help our colleagues do the same! We support charitable causes and institutions. And whenever we can, we promote our accomplishments to inspire others.

At Artius, we do not only want to perform well but to behave well.

Quality

We must be committed to delivering the highest quality and to demonstrating excellence in everything we do, regardless of the nature of the deliverable. From the quality of the end product to the quality of a report, from the quality of a conversation to that of a design, everything matters. In order to better serve our customers. In order to stay ahead of the pack.

We are committed to delivering the highest quality in everything we do.

Operating Principles

Artius is guided by operating principles: a set of guidelines that define how we operate daily in order to better serve our customers and stakeholders, fulfill our mission statement and achieve our vision.

1. CUSTOMERS ARE NUMBER ONE
We must always prove our customers right for entrusting us with their projects. We always start with their point of view. The commitments we make to them must be met at any cost. This includes both the quality of our deliverables and the deliveries that we agree. We must be assistive and approachable and delight them in every interaction. It is about them, not us!

2. CUSTOMER COMMITMENT
We develop long lasting relationships with our customers that add value to their business. To win their loyalty we must first be loyal to them. We must convince them with our actions that we are not just another supplier but a trustworthy partner who will be there even when things go wrong. To keep them so content with our service that they will not only keep us as their supplier of choice but also recommend us to their friends and partners. In extraordinary situations we must simply be extraordinary.

3. COMMUNICATE CLEARLY, AGREE EXPLICITLY. ON EVERY DETAIL.
The first step to delivering on a commitment is understanding what we have committed to and ensuring everybody else has understood the same. This can only be achieved by communicating clearly, listening carefully, turning assumptions into facts, clarifying any doubts and agreeing explicitly. On everything.

4. DO BETTER
Surprise your internal and external customers by going the extra mile and delivering a little more or a little faster than what has been agreed, or a little better than what is expected. Whether it is a customer or a co-worker, aim for delight and surprise.

5. VALUE THROUGH EFFICIENCY
We focus on managing our business as efficiently as possible to constantly improve the quality of our service and offer a better value. We organize. We simplify. We automate repetitive tasks by leveraging technology, we reduce unnecessary steps in a process and unnecessary parts in a product and when performing a task, we are very careful ex-ante to avoid mistakes and repetition ex-post.

6. PROTECT AND STRENGTHEN OUR COMPANY
We care about our company as if it were our own and protect its reputation. We always aim for the biggest possible benefit for the company. It’s easy to fill up our day with routine tasks or things that someone requests. Instead of being occupied with the easy things we do the things that get us closer to company goals. We think higher than our project or department: if it is high impact for Artius, it’s high priority for us.

7. LEAD BY EXAMPLE
We are a team. And for our team to excel, we must ensure that, along with us, all our co-workers are also exceptional. We lead by example and inspire leadership through our actions and results. We don’t cut corners ourselves. We perform our duties according to the Artius values and principles and take responsibility for guiding, correcting and developing others.
