Our Vision and Values

We Are Lexmark

Our employees have defined our vision and values. We live these concepts every day. More than mere words, these statements are truly a framework for how we operate:

Vision

We, the employees, are Lexmark - a dynamic, global information technology company. We have a vision: Customers For Life. To earn our customers' loyalty, we must listen to them, anticipate their needs and act to create value in their eyes.

We want to be known for reliability, flexibility, responsiveness, innovative products and services and exemplary citizenship. Growth, longevity and financial success will naturally follow. We will make this happen in an enriching environment of trust, cooperation and mutual respect.

Values

We, as Lexmark employees, will try to always act in a manner consistent with these values, and will be open to give and receive advice to make our behaviour consistent with them.

Customer Commitment

Customers are key - they should be the focus of everything we do. All our work should be carried out with them in mind, whether they are internal or external customers. Customer satisfaction is the top priority of every employee and the purpose of every job. Cost-effective, ongoing achievement of customer satisfaction is the foundation of our business.

Employee Satisfaction

Our people are our future. We must strive to attain maximum employee contribution by valuing our individual differences, helping employees to fully utilize their talents and be their best, and fulfilling employee needs wherever possible.

Corporate Wealth

We have accepted a responsibility to be effective stewards of all our shareholders' resources. Through performance, everyone will be properly rewarded for his or her investment in Lexmark.

Corporate Citizenship

We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work, the environment, and to the world community as well.

Mutual Respect

Mutual respect is the recognition of the equal worth of each individual, with full utilization of our diverse backgrounds, interests, and strengths. Actions we take on behalf of Lexmark must maintain the dignity of the individual. Likewise, every employee has the responsibility to contribute to and protect Lexmark's assets, including its image and financial returns.

Integrity

Integrity means being honest, being fair, standing up for what you believe, and doing what you say you will do.

Long-term Perspective

A long-term perspective is important to our success. As a daily priority, we will make decisions to invest long-term while managing short-term demands.

Excellence

Excellence is the performance of every task in a superior manner. We take pride in doing this through accepting ownership, exceeding customer expectations and striving for continuous improvement in everything we do - including our thinking, our daily work, and every product and service.
