OVER THE HISTORY OF OUR COMPANY, we have taken action and spoken out many times in ways that have probably seemed exceptionally bold and even radically open-minded at the time. Curiosity and the courage to make the world a slightly better place to be and live have been part of us throughout our 201-year-old history. All this has been bound together by responsibility, which is inherent to us: we always side with the good and want to bear our responsibility, whether it be to individual freedom, human rights, or the future of our globe.
