• Team Member Engagement – be a company where people matter, teamwork is rewarded, everyone feels respected and empowered to speak up, diversity and inclusion are embraced, and “how” our work gets done is just as important as getting the work done.
• Innovation – create new kinds of lasting value for our customers and businesses by using innovative technologies and moving quickly to bring about change.
• Risk Management – set the global standard in managing all forms of risk.
• Corporate Citizenship – make every community in which we live and do business better.
• Shareholder Value – earn the confidence of shareholders by maximizing long-term value.

“As a company, Wells Fargo wants to build a better bank every day for our customers, for our team members, for our country, and for the world,” Sloan said. “For our team members and customers, we want to create a culture that’s better for you every day. For our communities, we want to help build better communities every day. The key to our success is our commitment to being better every day.”
