ESnet's Core Values
In January 2024, ESnet unveiled our five core organizational values:
One Team, One Goal |
|
People First |
|
Partner with Integrity |
|
Lead with Humility |
|
Progress over Perfection |
While our mission captures what we do, these values articulate who we are. They encompass the things that are most important to all of us and that give us the common language and norms to guide us toward our mission. Ultimately, our values define the culture we want to create, guide how we prioritize projects, and inform how we evaluate our progress toward our strategic goals.
These statements represent more than a year of careful work by ESnet’s all-volunteer Values Committee, engagement across the entire organization, and input from ESnet’s executive leadership team (ELT). This process was informed by Berkeley Lab’s core values, and the end result is remarkably alike in spirit, reflecting the strategic alignment of a Department of Energy user facility and the national laboratory that stewards it.
