About The Processor Group

Operating Values

We have developed a set of operational values that apply to everyday staff activities and identify that this business is different to other components of AMIC's operation. The principal values will include:


  Trust   Candor
  Responsibility   Transparency
  Accountability   Teamwork
  Initiative   Confidentiality
  Credit   Commercial


Values Statement

Officers will operate in an environment of trust in delivering the agreed policy. They have the responsibility to undertake the agreed tasks and are accountable for the outcomes. We want to encourage initiative and where that initiative delivers positive outcomes give credit. Where that initiative fails for whatever reason, that through a transparent process we address what has gone wrong and learn from the experience and go forward as part of a team. In dealing with individual member business we need to be always conscious of confidentiality. Any outcome from AMIC activities ultimately should have a commercial objective.
