Purpose
Making tomorrow safer than today
​
We recognize the wider impact of what we do – on the people and communities that we serve. Every day, in one way or another, we support customers who really care about their products and services getting to market and ensuring they are safe, fit for purpose and compliant. If those products or services fail in use, then there are significant consequences.

From pharmaceuticals to fire testing, from aviation to automotive, and medical to mobile devices, we help customers who are striving to make a positive change in the world. Like them, we are making tomorrow safer than today.
Values
Everyone at Element lives and breathes three core values. These values, which were chosen in an
all-colleague poll, define and describe what it means to work at Element. In our day-to-day work, every question we ask, every decision we make, and every interaction we have with ourselves and our customers, are guided by our values of Integrity, Care, and Progress.
​
Living and breathing these values helps Element to grow, individually and as an organization, to the betterment of our world, our society, our customers, ourselves, and will enable us to deliver our purpose of making tomorrow safer than today.

We’re clear on our role and responsibility, so we spend time and energy on the right things. We feel proud of the work we do and the difference it makes.
Care
Care is our human side. Creating a safer world starts with us, caring about each other and our customers. Our culture is inclusive, and everyone is welcome. We work together to create a stronger business, making a positive difference to the world around us.
