People: Our Society

We are passionate about giving back to society. We have local programmes and initiatives where employees can collaborate with charities and other local institutions to create a better environment and improve other people’s lives.

Positive change in our society starts within our business as well. We work closely with all of our suppliers and partners to make sure human rights and the highest ethical standards are respected at every point of our supply chain.

We also celebrate diversity and an inclusive workplace. The physical and mental wellbeing of our employees is prioritised, as well as their professional and personal development.
