The UACJ Way

Founded on the principles of safety and compliance, the UACJ Way expresses a path forward for actions in accordance with the three values of respecting and understanding our associates (Mutual Understanding and Respect), embracing honesty and foresight (Sincere and Future-oriented Approach), and being curious and challenging (Curiosity and Drive to Take on New Challenges). All members of the UACJ Group are expected to follow these shared guidelines so that the Group can continue contributing to people’s livelihoods and their communities for many years into the future.
