The Gist Standard
The Gist Standard embraces all elements of the company, and aims to ‘raise the game’ so that Gist can pursue its vision to be the customers’ first choice for logistics innovation, excellence and partnership.
The Standard sets out a range of criteria, values, behaviours and achievements to which every Gist person should aspire. By formalising these under one umbrella, we aim to provide our employees and our customers with confidence in the Gist name and ethic. The focus is on commitment to key business drivers and building a company that continues to be:
- profitable and dynamic
- valued by customers
- enjoyed by its people
- respected in its environment
Our values
Gist’s values are:
People Focus - Gist people make a real difference – to our customers and to our business.
Our team has a breadth of skills that is unique in the supply chain arena. In-depth operational experience, coupled with knowledge and expertise means we consistently demonstrate an ability to think more laterally and have an aptitude for combining vision and practicality. Gist recognises that new ideas and ways of doing things are key to our success – and that’s why we consistently develop and invest in our people to enable them to grow to their full potential.
As well as being a great place to work, we strive to make every Gist location a safe, fair and ethical place to work.
Excellence - We strive to achieve excellence in everything we do.
Our award-winning programmes, projects and people are testimony to this.
We employ only the best teams and technology.
We set standards of excellence in every aspect of our business - including safety. An industry-leading behavioural safety programme in place across the entire network means that every Gist employee works to achieve 100% safety 100% of the time – making the workplace not just safer but more efficient and effective.
Innovation - Gist is a fast-moving business that is constantly breaking new ground and adding value to its customers with innovative, progressive thinking and practical, quantified solutions.
From award-winning initiatives such as Europe’s leading RFID implementation programme, developed in partnership with Marks & Spencer, through to leading-edge modelling tools for warehouse flow simulation, innovation is evident in everything we do.
Customer Partnership - World-class customer service means all our innovation, vision and operational excellence is focused on your needs.
We work with you to understand your business needs and objectives and then create a tailor-made solution that meets those needs exactly.
We work in close partnership with all our customers – creating one team to transform the supply chain. Gist works with our customers to tackle challenges at the outset – from re-engineering supply chain capabilities to undertaking a full TUPE transfer of a workforce.
