In today's world there is more requested from a company than just doing daily business.
Although successful financial performance is essential, not only to sustain the future of the business, but also to contribute to the prosperity of society as a whole, companies are expected to do more.

This is particularly the case for a company that is present in European retail markets - and world-wide supply markets - and where expectations are different from area to area.

As a company we want to be a good corporate citizen.

The philosophy that underpins our approach to our social responsibilities can best be described as follows:

Our strategy is to earn and retain the trust of our stakeholders by accepting our responsibility to:

• provide best value, safe, quality products
• act responsibly in the communities where we operate
• support the development of improved employement/working conditions in our supplier
  markets - particularly the developing countries
• play our role in building and serving a more sustainable society.
• active contribution to the protection of the environment
