Living Our Values: The Foundation of Paramount’s Culture
At Paramount, our culture is more than just a set of principles—it’s the heartbeat of everything we do. R.I.C.E. is the guiding framework that shapes how we interact with each other, serve our customers, and make an impact on the world.
What Is R.I.C.E.?
R.I.C.E. stands for Respect, Integrity, Communication, and Excellence. These values are not simply words; they are the essence of who we are as a team. They influence our relationships, drive our decisions, and inspire us to recognize and celebrate those who embody these principles every day.
Celebrating Our Values Through R.I.C.E. Day
Our commitment to R.I.C.E. comes to life every day, and at the end of each year, we award individuals at our annual RICE Day Employee Appreciation Event. This special occasion honors the individuals who exemplify these values and contribute to our success.
These individuals represent the very best of who we are, demonstrating respect, integrity, communication, and excellence in all they do. We’re thrilled to announce our 2024 RICE champions:
- Respect: Anuya
- Integrity: Jon
- Communication: Bruce
- Excellence: Tricia
- Overall: Linda
The Pillars of R.I.C.E.
Respect
Respect is the foundation of all our interactions. We prioritize kindness, empathy, and understanding, creating a culture where every individual feels valued. By honoring diverse perspectives and experiences, we foster meaningful relationships and a sense of belonging that strengthens our community.
Integrity
Integrity is the trust we build through accountability and honesty. We stand by our commitments and act with transparency, ensuring that both our colleagues and customers can rely on us. Our dedication to doing what’s right forms the cornerstone of trust and credibility across every facet of our organization.
Communication
Communication is the bridge to collaboration. By encouraging open dialogue and the sharing of ideas, we cultivate a culture of teamwork and proactive problem-solving. Clear, supportive communication drives efficiency, encourages growth, and improves connections across our teams, creating a workplace that thrives on curiosity and learning.
Excellence
Excellence is the relentless pursuit of growth and innovation. It’s about going above and beyond, embracing challenges, and finding resourceful solutions. Excellence fuels our ambition to push boundaries, spark creativity, and achieve outstanding results as a team.
We celebrate employees who take initiative, embrace challenges, and push boundaries to create new and innovative ideas. Together, we strive to reach new heights in everything we do.
R.I.C.E. Logo 2024
2024 was a special year to celebrate our core values with our CSR Workplace Culture team leading a rebrand of the RICE logo. The team envisioned a logomark unique to the acronym that represents the four pillars of each value. After multiple rounds of design, we’re excited to showcase our new RICE logo!
Our new RICE logo consists of four hearts, with three interlinked line hearts and one solid heart. The use of a heart symbolizes how these core values are internal beliefs that drive our interactions with others externally.
The interlinked hearts represent how all the core values work together to help us establish long-lasting relationships with customers and partners. Each heart represents a RICE value with its own unique color inspired by the Paramount Global brand colors. Three lines in the solid heart create a visual motion of delivering excellence (represented by a green solid heart) while upholding the design style used in all Paramount Global-styled line icons.
The acronym reflects the same styling as our Paramount Global logo. Together, the new logo consists of multiple elements that connect back to our brand and represent the strong internal beliefs that drive our business today.
By living our values, we continue to strengthen our community, elevate our work, and ensure that Paramount remains a place where people feel empowered to grow, succeed, and make a difference.
