Our values

The positive effects of globalization are undeniable. However simple maximisation of profit can not be the only objective of businesses and of the European integration. Besides performance, the respect of social obligations is an added value to the economy in the long run.

Today Europe is facing the challenge of keeping the economy competitive and modernising the European social model, in order to let economic growth go hand in hand with good living conditions for the society as a whole. In this respect, European managers are clearly in favour not only of the principle of performance and competition, but also of a social market economy and an ethical way of conducting business.
