Culture & Values

  • We focus on the Customer

    Our growth depends on the trust of our customers. We strive to give them reasons to stay loyal to us by considering what they care about. Delivering the best customer experience and services means listening closely to all our customers, taking their feedback into account, and continuously enhancing our offerings based on the feedback they provide.

  • Go beyond the expected

    We believe everything we do will make a difference. Which is why ‘good enough’ just won't do for us. This ambition and passion to provide our customers with the best service and experience is what makes us push the boundaries, both our own and those of the industry. We know that being a leader means keeping a flexible mindset. We never rest on our laurels or do things the way they've always been done just because they've always been done that way. That doesn’t mean we aren’t rigorous in applying experience to new challenges ahead. But if turning great ideas into reality means we need to reinvent the rules a little, then that’s what we’ll do.

  • Work as one Team

    We believe that anything is possible when everybody works as one to reach the same objective. Opinions are valued and constructive feedback helps the flow of information, skills, and knowledge. It’s not about consensus, but about living and breathing collaboration. We provide our teams with the right tools and support to do their best work. Our goal is to find the best solution to any question at hand, and we encourage everybody to contribute.

  • Take Responsibility

    Taking initiative is a question of mindset here, rather than a sign of seniority. It applies to everybody, no matter where you are in the company. It’s all about making things happen and keeping promises. It’s owning your role and being the subject matter expert people know they can rely on. It’s proactively coming up with solutions rather than flagging problems. It’s making sure all actions match your words and you finish what you started. It’s standing up for your point of view and owning up to your mistakes. In other words, it’s inspiring others by being the best you can be.

  • Appreciate each other

    At Three, we value every individual for who they are and what they bring to the table. Therefore, respect and appreciation are at the heart of everything we do. This includes how we build our business to how we treat each other and our customers. We enable respect by living and breathing these behaviours: we're open, honest, and clear, we're approachable and supportive, we're respectful and acknowledging and we're flexible and empowering. This is what builds trust and allows us to be the best we can be to achieve our objectives.
