Our Values

We believe people can do amazing things when their purpose and values are aligned.

At Gallagher Bassett, we believe having shared values creates the foundation for strong and enduring relationships. It's these values that serve as the guiding principles for the decisions we make for our clients, our partners, and ourselves.

Doing things one way. The right way. The Gallagher Way.

Gallagher Bassett has always understood there's a better way. The Gallagher Way. It's a culture of ethics and service. One of collaboration in a common interest — the best interest of every client, everywhere. Penned by our then-Chairman, Robert E. Gallagher, in May 1984, The Gallagher Way continues to strengthen us and help us thrive. Today, you'll find these tenets proudly displayed in each Gallagher Bassett office around the world. What's more, these tenets inform the actions we take every day.
