Management Philosophy

At ACCO Brands Corporation, we celebrate the strength of the diversity of our brands while sharing a single, unified goal across our organization: Delivering value. Whether it’s generating superior returns for our investors, or developing the best products in the industry for our customers, or creating a workplace that rewards initiative and innovation for our people, ACCO Brands is focused on delivering value to all of the stakeholders in our organization.

The long history of our company – some of our brands are more than 100 years old – has taught us that the keys to our success will vary from business line to business line, but that a common culture with shared corporate initiatives and leadership attributes remains essential.

That’s why our entire organization is focused on delivering exceptional value through the strengths of our people, our proven collective ability to build industry and market leadership, and our commitment to a core set of operating principles: Focus, Simplicity and Agility.

In practice, this translates into winning in the marketplace by focusing on key products and brands. Operating as the most nimble, efficient and cost-effective player in the industry. Articulating clear and concise goals, and executing relentlessly on them. Adhering to the highest standards of corporate governance and responsibility. Hiring the best and the brightest people throughout the world, and empowering them to constantly build our market and industry leadership.

At ACCO Brands, we believe that delivering exceptional value is not a destination that can be simply “arrived at” – it is an ongoing journey, and one that we are committed to for many years to come.
