As more travelers convert to the Macs Way, we accept our business will grow and change. We welcome new connections and embrace to new opportunities. Carpe diem!

• Take a different path: We're not different for different's sake; but we won't succeed if we're just the same as everyone else. We devise creative solutions to problems, find new ways of doing things, and trust colleagues who are doing so too. We are brave and feel empowered to take the initiative. We ask ourselves: is what I'm doing authentically Macs?

• Tread thoughtfully: We are considerate, empathetic and try to put ourselves in our customers', suppliers' and each other's shoes. We support local and find ways of having less negative impact on the planet. We find ways of having a positive impact on people and communities. We are fair, and we do the right thing.

• Go the extra mile: We know that creating a perfect #MacsMoment involves going that bit further. We imagine the best feedback we can get and set out to earn it. We take ownership and accountability - it's yours, not someone else's, problem. We step up and help our teammates when they need us.
