“Together, we are creating a sustainable world based on our passion for technology and innovation”: this statement, our Purpose Statement, describes our attitude, our motivation. That which drives us each and every day together. It demonstrates the contribution that we can and want to make toward a more sustainable world. We use it as a guiding principle and standard for our thinking and actions. This is because one thing is clear: Our actions have an impact. We can and want to be judged by this, because together we can create meaning through entrepreneurial activities.
