Our core values
The core values are the most important values in our organisation. They help us to do our work, to stimulate cooperation and to realize this Business Plan. The values guide us how we want to be perceived by the outside world.

Passion		Passion for the port and our profession.
Together		Working jointly with our colleagues, but also with our customers, our shareholders and people living and working around the port area, to achieve our collective ambitions.
Continuous improvement		Keen to learn, evaluate, develop and set new frontiers.
Reliable		Reliable for our stakeholders, a careful and trustworthy partner, building on our solid basis of decades of experience as Europe’s leading port.

These core values and other values and standards, such as integrity, are described in the Business Code of the Port of Rotterdam Authority. This code sets out who we are, what we stand for and what we feel is important in business and public life. Internal and external. The code contains guidelines that state clearly what is and is not permitted.
