Culture

There are certain business imperatives on which Boeing places a very strong emphasis. Scroll below for more information.

  Detailed customer knowledge and focus that understands,
   anticipates and responds to customer needs.

  Large-scale systems integration, continually developing and
   advancing technical excellence.

  A lean enterprise characterized by efficiency, supplier
   management, short cycle times, high quality and low
   transaction costs.

Our Values

In addition, we have committed to a set of core values that not only define who we are, but serve as guideposts to help us become the company we'd like to be.

  Leadership

  Integrity

  Quality

  Customer satisfaction

  People working together

  A diverse and involved team

  Good corporate citizenship

  Enhancing shareholder value

Boeing is a company of great people in one of the most exciting industries in the world. Our heritage mirrors the very heritage of aviation itself. We are positioned to be the best in the world. Together, working according to the principles we believe in, we will be the best in the world.

Why our diversity makes us stronger

Boeing is a company with more than 160,000 people, operations in 49 states and 70 countries, and customers in more than 90 countries. We know that diversity gives us a competitive advantage, but we can’t assume that diversity will simply come to us. So Boeing spends a great deal of time and effort to become more diverse at all aspects and levels of our organization.

We give people room to think and act differently – with greater speed, agility, and creativity. The point is not that there are differences. The point is whether we can appreciate the value of those differences and learn from them.

Several organizations have helped make diversity a successful reality at Boeing. Our Diversity Councils help diversity work for everyone.

Diversity Councils are integrated groups of site leaders, managers and employees who work to improve employee engagement.

Everyone is welcome in Boeing’s Affinity Groups.

Affinity groups are employee-led associations designed to further personal and professional development, promote diversity within the company and strengthen networking.

Why the environment is a priority to us

Boeing recognizes the serious challenges facing our eco-system and is committed to reducing the effect of its operations, products and services on the environment. Our greatest contribution to meeting the challenge is to pioneer new technologies for environmentally progressive products and services – and to design, develop and build them in an environmentally responsible manner.

Boeing has therefore committed itself to:

  Pioneering Environmentally Progressive Technology

  Relentlessly Reducing Our Environmental Footprint

  Strengthening the Industry’s Environmental Focus

  In 2007, the company granted approximately $3.7 million
   to non-profit organizations across the globe to support
   innovative environmental programs that protect vital
   natural assets, restore or improve critical habitats
   and train citizens to protect and preserve
   the environment.
