Our values and Code of Ethics underpin everything we do as a company.

Its principles ensure that our company and our employees act honestly and with integrity in our daily activities, and only do things that benefit society.

We welcome all feedback and are open to learning from it.

Our responsibility to current and future generations

We are committed to increasing the value our products and services bring to all stakeholders and the community. This includes encouraging a sustainable way of living and restoring respect for everyone who is part of our value chain.

Our aim is to minimise the ecological footprint of our value chain by limiting packaging to what is strictly necessary, with a preference for easily recyclable options. We are also committed to using sustainable, preferably locally sourced raw materials, to reduce our impact on the environment and support the local economy.

We are constantly looking for new ways to improve processes, products and services for the benefit of the environment, the community and the workplace.

Our responsibility to each other

We treat our colleagues with dignity and respect.

We work as a team, encourage collaboration, recognise the strengths in our differences and support each other to reach our shared goals.

We do not work for competitors and put everything in the service of our own brand.

We take action against discrimination, harassment or retaliation.

We recognise the value of diversity in how we hire and work with employees.

We value openness and honesty and encourage our employees to raise ethical concerns and to be as transparent as possible.

We care about nurturing a culture in which learning from mistakes and successes is encouraged, and in which employees are encouraged to contribute proactively to ethical decision-making and sustainability initiatives.

Our responsibility to our partners and customers

We work with other organisations in a professional and honest way.

We actively promote a greater ecological and social impact, and fruitful collaboration with those we work with.

We keep our independence and defend our values (with respect for differences of opinion) when working with others.

We reserve the right not to work with organisations or individuals that do not meet our ethical standards.

Our conduct towards our partners and customers

We expect all our employees to follow our Code of Ethics and promote our values.

We do not accept favours or bribes, and we do not allow personal preferences to influence the awarding of contracts.

We do not tolerate child labour or any form of modern slavery at our suppliers (or their suppliers).

We believe it is important to be transparent and fair in our financial practices towards others.
