Our Purpose, Values & Vision

As we bring that purpose to life, we are guided by our values: Collaboration, Integrity, Respect, Courage, Leadership and Excellence. These principles ensure we are moving together toward our Vision to be a company that is Strong, Engaged, Dynamic and Inclusive.

Oatey is committed to creating an inclusive and equitable environment where everyone can be their authentic self, and where we can explore and value our differences safely and without fear or judgment. It's a priority for us to recruit and retain a diverse workforce, work with a diverse range of suppliers, and engage with our communities around DE&I topics. We view DE&I as a journey that is consistent with our values, essential to our culture, and core to how we operate our business.

That's why we embrace social and environmental responsibility as part of doing business.
Quality
When you ask a plumber what Oatey means to them, they're likely to say "quality." Quality products, services and partnerships are foundational to who we are and how we do business. Above all, this means we're committed to delivering best-in-class products that end users can count on to perform every time. It also means we aim to meet and exceed the expectations of our customers, business partners and associates in all that we do. We operate with a range of robust quality management processes to ensure we live up these high standards — because it's who we are, and it's the right thing to do.
