　　At Booking.com, we are all involved in making hundreds of decisions every day. The decisions we make are a reflection of our Values - they reflect what is important to us, both as individuals and as an organization.

　　When we use our Values to make decisions, we make a deliberate choice to focus on what is important. When Values are made explicit, they provide clarity on what "good" looks like. And when they are shared, they build unity in a group. They build culture. Think customer first . We obsess about adding value for our customers - guests, partners, colleagues - to make it easier for everyone to experience the world. Own it . We deliver on our promises, make informed decisions and prioritize to get the important things done today. Learn forever . We are resilient, take time to reflect, and seek to learn - from colleagues, from the outside world and from our failures. Succeed together . We celebrate team success, through making connections, building trust and valuing the diverse perspectives of others. Do the right thing . We get the right results the right way. For each other, our communities and the world around us. Booking.com Leadership Team
