We strongly believe in our key pillars. In fact, they lay the foundation for our everyday decisions and actions. Consumer centricity. The needs of consumers are at the heart of all our products, from their development on. By putting ourselves in consumers’ shoes, we are able to embrace their personal needs and offer solutions that make life at home easier and more enjoyable. Sustainability. In our view, the three dimensions of sustainability – the environment, society and the economy – are not mutually exclusive, but complementary. We strive to demonstrate their fundamental role in a successful business. Digitalization and connectivity. To better meet consumers’ needs today, we are transforming from a home appliance manufacturer to a company that also offers customizable digital features, services and content. One example of this is Home Connect, a life-enhancing app for smart products across our brands.
