Stakeholders in the extended enterprise
Our ecosystem
From raw materials to installation on the customer’s premises, via suppliers, employees, shops and installers, there is a whole co-dependent ecosystem working towards the success of each project.
This is what we call the extended enterprise: a model where the boundaries of the company extend far beyond its walls. Our 1,900 employees, our 920 partner-dealers who are independent of their shops, and our 1,700 suppliers are all stakeholders in a shared project that enables us to fulfil our mission: to create inspiring living spaces.
An integrated value chain, where every link counts and where the value created is redistributed.
