EQUS
Values

EQUS has developed mission and vision statements that communicate our purpose and goal.

Mission:

Together, we connect rural Alberta.

Vision:

To enrich the lives of our members.


 

Values:

At EQUS, the work that we do is guided and driven by our mission, vision, and values. As a values-based organization we strive to factor our values into both our day-to-day operations and the strategic planning that directs those operations.

  • Accountability: We own our actions and deliver on our promises, holding ourselves and each other to our commitments. We ask questions, challenge ideas, learn from our mistakes, and celebrate our successes.
  • Community: We support both internal and external communities through cooperation, engagement, service, and stewardship.
  • Knowledge: We seek and share our wisdom and expertise to develop both individually and collectively through continuous improvement, learning, and innovation.
  • Quality: We provide an excellent standard of work, service, and interaction through our commitment to safety, integrity, and efficiency.

EQUS is a co-operative and, therefore, owned by the members who use its services.

All co-operatives around the world are guided by the same seven principles:

  1. Voluntary and open membership 
  2. Democratic member control
  3. Member economic participation
  4. Autonomy and independence
  5. Education, training, and information
  6. Co-operation among co-operatives
  7. Concern for Community
