Bank of Ireland's purpose is to enable our customers, colleagues and communities to thrive. To be successful, we need to work together with a clear goal and a common purpose.
We’ll have stronger relationships, establishing deeper, mutually value adding customer relationships, led by our colleagues through tailored engagement. We’ll focus on easy, joined-up services and products across financial needs and life stages.
We’ll have a simpler business and significantly simplify the day-to-day activities and interactions of our customers and colleagues, particularly leveraging digital and data - allowing them to do more, faster and more easily.
We’ll be a sustainable company, delivering impact on the most critical challenges facing our customers, colleagues and society – ensuring ongoing stability and resilience for our expanded customer base.
Our purpose is supported by four key values. These guide us in everything we say and do. They are our moral guidelines; our compass for our ways of working and the behaviours we demonstrate every day. Living our values enables us to provide the very best possible service, holds us accountable, and demands that we deliver on our ability to constantly seek new solutions for the benefit of everyone; customers, colleagues and our communities.
Everything we do is for our customers. Our business is designed around them. We are empathetic, we listen, and we work hard to meet their needs, connecting with them to make them feel valued. Their success is our success.
We achieve more when we work together. We collaborate, we share ideas, we challenge thinking, and we learn from and care for one another. We value the real power that lies in our capacity to harness our diverse skills and experiences for the good of the whole.
We are trusted and supported to take ownership for our actions. We are trusted and supported to deliver the commitments we make to our customers, colleagues and communities. We accept responsibility for our decisions and actions.
We move quickly and make things simple to deliver positive outcomes for customers and for us. We move quickly, with purpose, to deliver our promises for customers and the Bank. We exercise good judgement, avoid complexity and work smarter together to get to the solution quickly.
