2021 has arrived and for many of us the start of a new year offers an opportunity to set new goals. Oftentimes these new goals are extensions of our old commitments, but we make small changes that allow us to start the year feeling refreshed, recalibrated, and rededicated. 

In the spirit of entering 2021 with renewed focus and resolve, Babcock Laboratories (Babcock Labs) has revisited and updated our core values. The principles behind these values are not new; we are still a company that believes in being responsive and reliable, and in maintaining good relationships. Instead, these updated values are a simple promise to our staff, our clients, our vendors, and our community that Babcock Labs will continue to uphold the highest ethical standards and practices.

We promise to: 

1.  Go the Extra Mile: We exceed the expectations of our clients, colleagues, vendors, and community.

2. Find Better Ways: We continuously seek improvements in processes and activities to deliver outcomes that benefit our clients, co-workers, vendors, and community.

3. Work Together: We work together, collaboratively with respect, honesty, and reliability. Our ability to work as one team enables us to build strong relationships, take action, and achieve our goals. Working together means we foster meaningful, long-term relationships with our clients, community, and staff.

4. Do the Right Thing: We behave ethically, honestly, and with integrity. We honor this commitment even when no one is watching.

5. Own It:  We are responsible for our individual and collective behaviors, actions, and decisions and hold ourselves accountable to the outcomes.

As an employee-owned environmental lab, Babcock is dedicated to providing a friendly, professional atmosphere for our staff and expert analytical services for our clients. We will continue fulfilling our mission to safeguard the environment and public health as we enter the New Year. 

We wish you a Happy New Year, and we look forward to making 2021 a better, cleaner, and greener year.
