All employees are expected to operate in line with our Leadership principles

•    Totality: We always put the overall interests of the company first, sacrifice our own targets for the greater good, and actively resist silo culture.
•    Talent: We always select the strongest team, prioritize diversity, and dare to hire people who are more skilled than we are.
•    Ambition: We set ambitious targets and do not get excited about easily achieved green numbers, and we dare to “lean out” in the pursuit of better results.
•    Trust: We fight every day against the “zero-mistake culture” and accept that mistakes are part of our professional and personal development journey.
•    Followership: We strive daily to create followership from our employed colleagues and act as role models by living out our values and leadership principles.
