Our Core Purpose & Core Values

Products, services and strategies can all evolve over time. But the essence of MDS Nordion comes from what never changes – the Company's Core Purpose and Values.

MDS Nordion's Core Purpose is to make a distinctive contribution to the health and well-being of people around the world. The Company strives to achieve this purpose by living its Core Values, which drive how MDS Nordion operates across every level, every business unit, and every location worldwide:

Commitment to Excellence:
Striving to reach our full potential as a company and as individuals – doing the right things the right way.

Mutual Trust:
Having confidence enough to rely on others and to be open to new people and different ideas.

Respect for People:
Showing genuine concern for others, and treating people as individuals, with understanding and appreciation.

Integrity:
Being reliable and accountable in word and behaviour.

MDS Nordion believes these Core Values and its strong sense of purpose give the Company a tangible competitive advantage.

While MDS Nordion will continue to grow and evolve, being a purpose and values-driven company is the Company's foundation – one which MDS Nordion believes will stand the test of time.
