Together we create possibilities!
Our culture
Where purpose drives dedication
We are a global team of dedicated doers who take pride in what we do, and our shared sense of purpose is our cultural keystone. Being able to contribute and develop as professionals while also promoting the welfare of others, adds an extra dimension to going to work. In essence, we know our 'why' and find motivation in making a positive difference to people’s lives.
Apart from what unites us, we all contribute with unique skill sets and perspectives, and are convinced that our individual differences improve our collective ability as a team. We have an entrepreneurial spirit and a down-to-earth atmosphere.
Our core values
We put people first
People are at the heart of what we do, and humanitarian values run through all our business activities. This means our first priority is always people – end-users, caregivers, customers, community, and each other.
We are driven by purpose
We are dedicated to our products’ purpose and always walk the extra mile to deliver the best possible solution. We have a down-to-earth mentality, a service-minded attitude, and work hard to add value where we can.
We pioneer the future
We have pioneered the past - and will pioneer the future. We challenge old truths, are passionate about innovation and have an entrepreneurial approach in everything we do. We change with the times to meet the needs of tomorrow.
We do it as a team
To reach our goals we work as one team. We collaborate across functions and locations, and meet each other with a helpful mindset. Our diverse perspectives help us to succeed, and we celebrate our achievements together.
Fostering community, at work and beyond
Each of our global sites has its own unique character, but we all want to create opportunities for our team members to come together, whether it is for wellness activities or to celebrate achievements.
We also share a commitment to giving back to the communities where we work, and there are many initiatives to contribute locally by supporting good causes or participating in charitable work. Here are some examples from our teams worldwide.
Norway
Teaming up for universal design
Our Norwegian team wants to raise awareness about accessibility and universal design, and organised a wheelchair race in city terrain for property developers and politicians.
