Our ICARE Shared Principles


At McKesson Canada, our five Shared Principles constitute an organizational promise to our partners and to ourselves – a corporate conscience reflecting the beliefs of the organization. There are five elements that make up the ICARE philosophy: Integrity, Customer Focus, Accountability, Respect, and Excellence. We strive to make these values the foundation of every interaction between employees, with our customers, with suppliers, and with the communities where we work.
  • Integrity:
    We do what is right. This is our ability to behave honestly, communicate openly, level with people and honour commitments.
  • Customer Focus:
    We succeed when our customers succeed. This is our ability to consistently anticipate, meet and exceed the needs of internal and external customers.
  • Accountability:
    We take personal responsibility and expect the same in return. This is our ability to make a commitment to delivering results, and to take personal responsibility for our actions.
  • Respect:
    We treat people with dignity and consideration. This is our ability to make decisions and actions that reflect the needs of others.
  • Excellence:
    We insist upon quality. This is our ability to produce consistent, high-quality work which is accurate and complete.

Seeking – and seeking to retain – the best people
The accomplishment of our corporate leadership mission also means McKesson Canada must seek out qualified people with that same attribute – leadership. Our success depends heavily on our ability to retain these employees. As a result, McKesson Canada provides an excellent working environment with ample opportunities for personal and career growth, and a competitive and comprehensive benefits package.

McKesson Canada, with its hundred-year history, is ranked among Canada’s top 50 companies in terms of revenue. McKesson, our San Francisco-based parent company, is a Fortune 16 health care services and information technology company.
