Values
We have distilled all the aspects into four core values: Sustainable, Innovative, Excellent, and Passionate. These values are the cornerstone of everything we want to achieve with our strategy.
How do we pioneer motion?
Our purpose in today’s environment is therefore just as relevant as it was at the beginning of our almost 75-year history. It tells us why we are here, and how we respond to the global challenges of today and contribute to building sustainable value for our stakeholders and society as a whole. It also offers our people a sense of meaning and identity, particularly in times of major and constant change.
To remain a genuine pioneer in increasingly dynamic and complex environments with changing customer needs, we will have to keep developing as a company and become even more innovative, agile, and efficient, always putting our stakeholders at the center of what we do.
