Open-minded corporate culture

Open-minded corporate culture

Big-scale projects in our company require cross-divisional thinking and collaboration with many different colleagues. This can be seen in our daily work with one another. We approach each other openly and treat colleagues with respect. A collegial way of working is not just a saying, it is lived up in our corporate culture at all times. We support this, for instance, with our networking lunch in which employees from very different areas randomly come together.
