The Lexmark vision statement
We, the employees, are Lexmark -- an emerging, global information technology company.

We have a vision: Customers For Life. To earn our customers' loyalty, we must listen to them, anticipate their needs, and act to create value in their eyes.

We want to be known for reliability, flexibility, responsiveness, innovative products and services, and exemplary citizenship. Growth, longevity and financial success will naturally follow.

Corporate citizenship
We are responsible to the communities in which we live and work, the environment, and to the world community as well.

Mutual respect
Mutual respect is the recognition of the equal worth of each individual, with full utilization of our diverse interests, strengths and backgrounds. Actions we take on behalf of Lexmark must maintain the dignity of the individual. Likewise, every employee has the responsibility to contribute to and protect Lexmark's assets, including its image and financial returns.
