We are grateful to our customers, who honor us with their business; to our company, which values us as people; and to America, our nation, where each of us has arrived either by birth or by immigration. We recognize these blessings with sincere appreciation.
We believe employment and the corporation are far more than a means of earning an income or generating a profit. Houghton Chemical Corporation is a place where people can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others. Our goal is to leave a lasting legacy of improvement for everyone we touch—our customers, our coworkers, our professional relationships, our communities, and our country.
With our customers, we conduct business with integrity, honesty, and respect. With our coworkers, we foster a spirit of cooperation, encouragement, grace, and mutual respect. As a corporation, we share our success through competitive compensation, profit-sharing programs, bonuses, and a genuine commitment to the well-being of our employees.
We measure our success not only by what we earn, but by what we leave behind: stronger people, better communities, lasting relationships, and a legacy of integrity, generosity, and service.
Beyond our company, we believe we have a responsibility to give back. We devote a meaningful portion of our resources and profitability to nonprofit organizations and community initiatives that work to improve lives locally, nationally, and throughout the world.
Above all, we recognize that Houghton Chemical Corporation exists for a purpose greater than financial success. It is a vehicle through which we can serve others, strengthen our communities, contribute to our nation, and care for the remarkable planet we all share—a small speck of dust floating through the vastness of the universe, yet the only home we have.
We measure our success not only by what we earn, but by what we leave behind: stronger people, better communities, lasting relationships, and a legacy of integrity, generosity, and service.
