We treat everyone with respect and fairness, and we only do fair and honest business. 2. We take care of nature We protect the environment, landscapes and natural diversity of our region. Our operations do not exceed nature's carrying capacity, but contribute to securing the opportunities for a good life and the preservation of a clean operating environment in our area. We also take good care of our dogs and their well-being, and ensure that they get dignified treatment. 3. We respect cultural heritage We cherish the cultural heritage of our region.
