business that still believes in values: human, ethical, and ecological.

Fresh attitudes and firm principles help make us what we are. Plenty of companies write
mission statements, but at Morrisons the words mean something. We’re one team all 5
sharing the same vision, committed to pulling together, whilst respecting the differences
that make each person different and special.
