A CULTURE OF INCLUSION

AEI’s Values & Culture
Culture is not a passive force but an active discipline with a set of deliberate practices and mindsets. It makes the company resilient, adaptable and feeds our passion for continuing our progress and growth. Focusing on culture means focusing on the “how” and “why” of AEI, not the “what.” Answering the questions of why we exist and how we best accomplish together, shapes the “what” that we achieve each day.
