STAR Mantra

S.T.A.R. - What Does It Mean?

S.T.A.R. - Service-Excellence, Teamwork and Truth Telling, Accountability, Results - is our mantra and ECCB’s new way of doing business. 

Our mantra is a celebration of our core values; a change in our culture; and a clarion call to collective action to all who work at the ECCB.

It is inspired by necessity, energised by creativity and motivated by opportunity.
