It takes more than bricks and mortar to make a company great. Technology, quality, manufacturing excellence, customer service – these are a few of Eastman's strengths. But it's the men and women of Eastman who are the common element in these attributes. They are the key to our success.

Teamwork, quality and safety are core values that are engrained in the Eastman culture. We recognize the importance of treating each other, as well as those around us, with fairness and respect. We strive for quality in everything we do – from producing products to building relationships. And we are committed to operating safely while protecting people and the environment.

These core values are visible all across the company in the many faces of Eastman.

Face of Innovation: It takes a combination of detective work, psychology and science to develop innovations that fulfill unmet customer needs. With a collaborative process and a common framework across all science and business disciplines, we come to understand what's needed, what's technically possible and how to provide the best value to customers.

Face of Leadership: Our size and longevity, combined with our unique technologies, is the key to our leadership in the chemical industry. Eastman's profitability and our capacity to create value for our stakeholders begin with operational excellence. We are focused on maintaining our margins through business cycles. We are also committed to growing wisely by delivering greener, smarter, lower-cost solutions for our customers.

Face of Possibility: By constantly challenging ourselves and wondering about the possibilities, we make Eastman a better company. The results are visible in our product and technology development, our nonstop process improvements and our exploration of new ideas.

Face of Collaboration: Eastman is more than a supplier; we're a partner. We collaborate across the whole value chain to deliver the right product, with the right characteristics at the right price. Collaboration requires relationships, and relationships are built on trust. We work hard to maintain the trust our customers place in us. We collaborate with customers in person and through electronic avenues, such as our Customer Center.

Face of Caring: The one constant throughout our history has been our culture of caring. We live this value every day by making sure our products, employees, neighbors and environment are safe. Eastman embraces and advocates Responsible Care, a voluntary industry-wide commitment to safely handle our chemicals from inception to ultimate disposal. Caring for others extends beyond our operational performance. We strive to be the neighbor of choice. We support our local communities through grants from the Eastman Chemical Company Foundation and through countless volunteer efforts. Eastman employees are the face of caring in our communities.
