Dear employees

A compass is an extremely useful guiding instrument, and is absolutely essential for anyone pursuing an ambitious goal.

The Geberit Group is no different in this respect - we want to provide excellence in everything we do. To do this, it is import­-­ ant that we all pull in the same direction, which is where the Geberit Compass comes into play. It is designed to reassure us as to what our shared mission is. But that's not all - the fundamental values that shape our corporate culture both now and in the future are also listed here. Finally, the right decisions can only be made by those who take to heart the operational principles set out here and who are also familiar with our success factors.

The Geberit Compass will only become a useful instrument when our everyday actions follow the principles listed here, so let's get to work!
