Initiatives emerging from our local companies

At times like these we see the very best of human nature emerge [...] we naturally see the very best of human nature emerge. All of our employees, customers, partners, investors and society are impacted by this pandemic. Never has “Supporter of your life” had more meaning. Therefore I am really proud of the several initiatives emerging from our local companies to give additional support to our stakeholders in these difficult times.
