Values

Companies function just like people

You cannot invent a company's values. Many go wrong here. Some companies define their values based on who they want to be. Not who they actually are. That's why there's a difference between what they say and what they do. We find this untrustworthy.

We believe that a company's values have to emerge. They have to be found. We found our values through a number of efforts - formal and informal - and have organised them into four groups. Each group corresponds to an area significant to people's welfare: care, recognition, humour and meaning. Areas that are not just essential for people to thrive but also for companies to grow.

We listen – because at Pressalit we respect other people and their opinions. We take pride in the recognition of our efforts, and believe that we find strength in diversity.

We play – because without play there is no development. All great ideas initially seem absurd, said Einstein. That's why we allow room for thinking out of the box and for taking chances. We are daring, and we value humour and a love of life.
