Our purpose and values

We are creating a clean, safe and secure environment for future generations

Here you can learn more about our values. These have been developed from our Manifesto and help shape how we work, collaborate, and make decisions every day.

The values that guide how we work

We are respectful

We are responsible

We deliver more, together

We value each other: Our knowledge, experience and perspectives are respected – even if people agree with them or not.
We are kind and respectful: We listen to others, and understand different perspectives.
We recognise and celebrate achievements: We take time to reflect on what we have achieved.

We are one team: We recognise that together we all contribute to the success of Sellafield.
We trust and hold to account: We deal with issues constructively when things don’t go to plan.
We care about our community: We look for ways to make a positive difference.

We make a difference: We discuss the impact our work has and take pride in it.
We are clear on what we are here to do: If priorities change, we make sure everyone in the team understands why.
We perform with passion, pride and pace: We focus on delivering effectively and efficiently.

We are nuclear professionals in everything we do.

By being respectful, responsible, and delivering more, together, we will help to create the culture we need to achieve our purpose. We’ll continue earning the trust placed in us by our stakeholders, customers and communities.

Our values help us make sense of what great performance looks like at Sellafield. They are not a set of rules, and they are not intended to be a test that anyone passes or fails.

They provide a framework that can help us:

Make decisions when priorities compete.
Understand what we can expect from one another.
Work effectively across teams and disciplines.
Have constructive conversations about performance and behaviours.
Focus on what matters most.
Deliver our mission successfully.
