Changing the world in small steps

“Focusing on the individual”

For us, responsibility begins with the people and in the countries where the raw materials for our products are grown. For example, OTG, our largest subsidiary, relies on strong partnerships at the origin of the tea and improves the living and working conditions of local people through specific projects. We and our owners also attach great importance to supporting people in the region. That's why we support specific projects that help those in need, offer young people prospects and strengthen economic initiatives.
