ALYESKA MINDSETS:

• Believe In Zero: We believe zero is far from nothing. Zero accidents and spills make this a safer place to work. Zero regulatory infractions and operational upsets help things run smoother. On TAPS, zero is something of worth.

• Speak And Work As A Team: We never go it alone, and only win together. We know that everyone is important; no one is more important than another. We build each other up and form stronger bonds with every interaction. We tear down silos. "They" is not in our vocabulary because "we" are TAPS.

• Get Better Every Day: We're for better. It helps us evolve the way we work to deliver stronger results. It builds trust with our customers and co-workers. By learning, growing, and challenging the norm, we'll leave TAPS better for everyone.

• Act With Discipline: We know there’s no easy path to excellence. It takes high standards that we fully commit to for ourselves and our contractors. It's hard work, requiring rigor and precision, but practice delivers outstanding results.

• Spend Wisely: We treat the company as if it were our own. That's why we track and optimize our resources. We balance people, time, materials, and budget to ensure we’re being smart with money and eliminating waste.

• Take Action: You won't find us standing on the sidelines waiting for the perfect solution. We know when progress is more important than perfection. We’re agile, quick, and make well-informed decisions. It's what lets us move further, faster.
