It was our renewed focus in 2017 to create sustainable and long-term value, despites the challenges of a fast and ever-changing environment. This included naturally also our CSR activities, with a clear emphasis of quality over quantity. We had to carefully evaluate where our initiatives could result in best possible impact, for customers, partners, and employees.

Many of these activities are marked under #fairproduction, to send a positive signal to all our stakeholders, at a time where we continue to hear and read about exploitations within working environments. It remains our conviction, that a fair and social production environment drives company values. It leads to engaged and empowered employees and returns high quality performances, which ultimately provide value to customers and partners.
