Statement of Values

Taconic was founded in 1952 with a clear vision: To produce innovative animal models that would help to advance health care. Today, that vision still serves as the guiding principle behind all that we do at Taconic.

Taconic is committed to providing the highest quality animal models and scientific services to biomedical researchers worldwide with a goal of helping them advance and accelerate their drug discovery efforts. In all of our professional relationships, we are always guided by a set of principles and values that define Taconic and set us apart.

Our clients are always our top priority.
Taconic is dedicated to providing our clients with innovative products and services that enable them to compete and succeed. This commitment drives our efforts to continually develop novel solutions that provide our clients with a strong competitive advantage. We build long-lasting, mutually beneficial relationships with the investigators we serve, based on honesty, integrity, and cooperation.

Our employees are second only to our clients.
Taconic is committed to caring for and developing the employees who serve as the backbone of our company. We provide a stable, competitive and motivating work environment, along with extensive training and education that fosters our staff's ongoing development. Our managers display respect for every employee at all times.

The communities in which we live and work are vital to us.
Taconic contributes time and resources to industry organizations that are important to our clients and our partners and regularly participates in the development of standards that are critical to maintaining a high level of quality across our industry. We strive to serve as good citizens by supporting local organizations and volunteering in the many communities in which our employees live and work.

By upholding these values, we deliver strong shareholder return.
The Taconic executive team is dedicated to ensuring sound use of our resources, prudent investments, and continued profitability. These goals enable us to deliver returns for our shareholders and ensure that Taconic remains the fiscally sound, stable partner our clients expect us to be.

Just as Taconic founder Robert K. Phelan envisioned more than five decades ago, by adhering to these values today Taconic serves several vital roles: as a provider of innovative solutions to solve human health issues, an employer of a talented and continually growing workforce, and a valued member of the communities we serve.
