1. The defence of a cooperative market model.
2. The implementation of values such as human dignity, equality, solidarity, transparency and environmental sustainability.
3. Aspiring to two main goals: prioritising people over capital, promoting cooperation above profit, democratising companies, reducing the environmental footprint, and subordinating the country’s wealth to the general interest.

Our company philosophy is based on the fact that the company must be responsible and sustainable, a resource that generates wealth for different stakeholders, that integrates ethical values into its management and helps to address social concerns, in full compliance with the model promoted by Christian Felber.
