Excellence and high ethical standards

We strive to identify the most critical needs of XOMA and we devote our resources to meeting those needs even if they are at odds with our personal ambitions and agendas. We compete against time, past performance and industry competition to achieve high quality results while applying the highest ethical standards to our products, our people, our services and our communications.

Respect for the individual

XOMA's success depends on our people. We show respect for our colleagues by being honest and forthright in our interactions no matter how controversial. We put our positions on the table and listen carefully, considering all perspectives, then dealing with them openly and thoughtfully.

Creativity with integrity

We encourage innovation and creativity by valuing and rewarding new ideas and approaches to our work, risk-taking, open mindedness and absolute integrity in our interactions both inside and outside the company. We will base our conclusions on objective examination of the facts, in an ongoing manner, ensuring that the totality of the data guides our final decisions.

Communication

We promote clear two-way communication by active listening and encouraging others to communicate, by sharing concepts with others and learning from one another, by respecting and valuing those who deal with differences openly, and, by developing strong relationships with internal and external partners.

Efficiency & teamwork

While we want to be rigorous in our thinking, we resist unnecessary bureaucracy. We constantly look for ways to streamline processes and continuously improve the way we do our work. We always strive to do things right the first time by proper planning and working effectively in teams to ensure we leverage the multiple perspectives and knowledge team members bring to our business.

Winning

Our success will be measured by approved, meaningful products that improve patient quality of life and the profitability those products generate. Everything we do will be aimed at being a winner.
