Our values
BE SMART
At Portland, we work with some of the best and the brightest – and by that we mean our people and our clients. We want our people to learn from each other, develop new skills, and continue to grow in their chosen area of expertise.
We’re smart about the way we work – we have great opportunities to work remotely and from the office. We encourage our people to use these to be effective in the way we collaborate with each other, and to be able to do our best work.
And we look to each other to challenge our thinking. We need diversity of thought to help us grow, and get the best results for our people and our clients.
BE HUMAN
We are all human – and we all deserve to be treated with dignity and respect.
We recognise each other when we have achieved a milestone, or simply nailed a great piece of work – giving credit where its due!
But just as importantly – we own our mistakes, we learn from them, and we look to improve as a result. It’s part of the process of how we grow.
BE COLLABORATIVE
We do our best work when we collaborate together – working with smart people to deliver successfully for our clients.
Friendships at Portland is something we excel at – we work hard, and play hard together, and we do our best work when, as well as collaborate, we can develop real friendships. Most importantly, we want to make sure everyone feels they are valued for being their true authentic self, and what they can bring toward to the work we do.
GROW
Growing is important for everyone – for Portland’s success as a business, but also for our own personal and professional development.
By collaborating with each other, we’re able to explore new avenues and look at how we continue to evolve the work we do.
We’re adaptable to the way the markets and the world we operate and change around us. We support each other to deliver smart and meaningful work.
And above all – Portlanders are at our best when we continue to learn and develop as people, as a team, and as a business.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion
At Portland we get to the point and we’re getting to the point on Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
We provide a workplace where everyone feels valued and respected and has the opportunity to advance. We actively embrace every positive benefit of DEI and stamp out bias, whether conscious or unconscious.
Portland should be a place where everyone feels comfortable and it’s important that everyone, wherever they’re based or whatever role they do, feels as though they can be their true authentic self.
We also know that we are only at our best when we feel we can be the best version of ourselves at work and at home.
Our goal is One Portland – the best people, great opportunities, working together.
