TRUST

Trust is at the heart of our working relationship and is deeply nurtured by proximity. Trust is given, earned, and rewarded so that everyone can work together. Trust is based on transparency and does not exclude control.

 

 

AUTONOMY

Autonomy is granted to our business units with the ability for people to make their own decisions, within a defined framework. Autonomy is not independence; it also encompasses communication and transparency.

 

 

SOLIDARITY

We work as a network to share knowledge, activities, and resources for greater innovation and better performance and responsiveness. We value people who are willing to give and share and show solidarity by getting involved in civil society and local communities – in good and bad times.

 

 

ENTREPRENEURIAL MINDESET

We empower and acknowledge everybody’s ability to take initiatives, weigh up risks and seize chances, envision and achieve success. We value the ability to make decisions and to deliver. We acknowledge the right to make mistakes.

 

 

RESPONSIBILITY

We empower and give responsibility to everyone, no matter their level within the organisation. We are convinced of the ability of our employees to work responsibly and to assume this responsibility. It is key to our success.
