Introduced the short week

The choice of the short week, together with smart working, is described as a way to reduce stress, encourage responsibility, sharing and autonomy, and improve psycho-physical health, happiness and motivation.

Reduced office environmental impact

The company says its offices have been whitewashed with a special paint that changes walls into a completely natural air purifier, able to purify the air by 88,8% and eliminate 99,9% of bacteria and virus. It also uses a system that absorbs humidity from the air and turns it into drinking water, which it says contributes to the reduction of transport impact and drinkable water consumption and drastically decreases the use of plastic.
