Food Lion's Guiding Principles

• Sales and Customer-Focused Culture - We are sales and customer focused. All our decisions are made with this in mind.
• Ownership - When you see a problem, you act on it, whether it resides within your direct functional area of responsibility or not.
• Promote Goodwill/Trust - Our associates are hard working, talented people committed to improving our organization. This principle encourages open communication and guides us when interacting with each other and making decisions.
• Strategy Alignment - We develop strategies and commit to these through all of our activities. We align the desired strategy, our work and the measurement of our achievement.
• Executional Excellence - We carry out agreed upon strategies and decisions, with responsibility and accountability residing at the appropriate levels.
• Teamwork - We work collaboratively and support one another to achieve our full potential. Teamwork is fundamental to the success of our company and, consequently, is promoted at all levels.
• Cross-Functional Decision Making - We make decisions with cross-functional participation and with an awareness of their impact on the total organization.
• Continuous Improvement - We make continuous incremental improvement throughout our organization. If we are not improving, we are falling behind.
• Solve Problems Not Symptoms - We identify and resolve the root causes of problems. We encourage risk taking for our people to tackle the tough issues, as this is generally where the root causes of the problems reside.
• Guiding Principles Not Rules - We provide structure through guiding principles, not simply rules or regulations. With this approach, we build a stronger, more capable decision-making team that is flexible to identify the need for change and make change happen.
