Tip of the day

It is often said that carpet "makes the room". After all, carpet can account for 50% of the visual impact of a room. Carpet can be a neutral backdrop for your furnishings. Or it can anchor the room and reinforce your color statement. Either way, you cannot ignore it. Old, shabby carpet will bring the rest of the room down. Scrimp on the ceiling if you've got to cut the budget!

Principles

PEOPLE
"Our people are our greatest asset. They are what sets our company apart."

We must attract, develop, and retain the best people for our company, recognizing that talent comes from all walks of life. As a company, our focus should remain on growing and developing these people through continued education, training, and work experience. Our corporate environment must include people with diverse backgrounds and foster exciting opportunities for long-term careers that reward hard work, integrity, honesty, and results. The safety and well-being of our employees are primary corporate objectives.

All employees are a part of our Shaw Industries family. Through effective communications, employees will be aware of where we are going, how we are doing, and how they fit in. In order to reach our corporate mission, teamwork must be the foundation on which all work activities occur.

RELATIONSHIPS
"Our relationships with employees, customers, suppliers, and community must be based on mutual respect, mutual trust, and mutual benefit."

We must establish and maintain honest relationships with all stakeholders in the company. This includes: employees, shareholders, customers, suppliers, and the communities in which we live.

CUSTOMER
"The customer is the only reason we come to work each day."

We recognize that our customers and our ability to exceed their expectations are critical to our total success. They are the focal point of our efforts. Our customers must be profitable; if not, we will not be profitable. If we are not profitable, we cannot provide the means to exceed our customers' expectations. Therefore, we will listen to and seek to understand our customers' needs. We will interactively respond to those needs for the mutual benefit of the relationship.

CITIZENSHIP
"We cannot separate ourselves from the communities in which we have facilities. Our common success depends on helping each other."

In the communities in which we live and the industry in which we work, we will actively strive to contribute to a better environment for everyone.

INNOVATION
"If you are doing it the same way you did it two years ago, you're probably doing it the wrong way."

In an ever-changing marketplace, new products, services, and technologies are the lifeblood of our business. We recognize our responsibility to be a leader in product, technology, and in the marketplace. We will provide a culture that encourages, nurtures, and recognizes innovation.

RESULTS
"No one would want to play the game if we didn't keep score."

We value the trust our shareholders have placed in us, and we recognize our responsibility to maximize the return on their investment. We will be every customer’s supplier of choice for all markets in which we operate.
