I thought I’d use this first blog post to tell you a little bit more about who we are — about our core beliefs.

Founding Principles

I founded this company in part on the principles adopted from my tenure as President of the Rotary Club of Palau. Rotary International emphasizes the concept of “Service Above Self”, in all the things we do. This resonates with me as a civil engineer’s duties are to provide designs for facilities serving the public.

 

Another guiding principle from Rotary I’ve embraced is the simple exercise called the “4-Way Test”. It goes something like this:

In all things we think, say or do, we should strive to pass the 4-Way Test –

1. Is it the Truth?
2. Is it Fair to All Concerned?
3. Does it Build Goodwill and Better Friendships?
4. Is it Beneficial to All Concerned?

In conjunction with these founding principles, Island Life Engineering (ISLE) follows the example of island communities throughout the Pacific. This examples is that all members of an island community contribute to the well-being of that community as a whole – we all rely on each other to do their part. This is the concept of “it takes a village….to raise a child”. ISLE operates as a community citizen, a corporate citizen, contributing in many ways to the betterment of the communities we serve.
