Many companies have a mission statement, some have a vision or creed. We live the "Markel Style". Through the years the Markel Style has served to provide a constant rudder to employees and management alike.
Markel has a Commitment to Success. We believe in hard work and a zealous pursuit of excellence while keeping a sense of humour. Our creed is honesty and fairness in all our dealings.
The Markel way is to seek to be a market leader in each of our pursuits. We seek to know our customers' needs and to provide our customers with quality products and service.
Our pledge to our shareholders is that we will build the financial value of our company. We respect our relationship with our suppliers and have a commitment to our communities.
We are encouraged to look for a better way to do things…to challenge management. We have the ability to make decisions or alter a course quickly. The Markel approach is one of spontaneity and flexibility. This requires a respect for authority but a disdain of bureaucracy.
At Markel we hold the individual's right to self-determination in the highest light, providing an atmosphere in which people can reach their personal potential. Being results-oriented, we are willing to put aside individual concerns in the spirit of teamwork to achieve success.
Above all, we enjoy what we are doing. There is excitement at Markel, one that comes from innovating, creating, striving for a better way, sharing success with others…winning.
Markel International's Eco Statement
“Our goal is to minimise our environmental impact whilst still adhering to our company principles as expressed in the Markel Style and our Company Profile.
Our goal is to use no more consumables than are necessary through the development of best business practices. Of the consumables we do use, we aim to recycle wherever possible. We want to review our environmental performance continuously.
Finally, we believe that the key to reaching these goals is to keep ourselves fully informed of the latest developments and practices in this area.”
