Working principles

Working principles

Why have working principles? Working principles give some concreteness to our values, make it more tanglible how we want to apply them in our everyday life. They also support us when making decisions, whether everyday small ones or big strategic ones. As you can see these are still a work in progress, hopefully we'll have "definite" ones soon!
