All things are connected.

I discovered Chief Seattles’s words, engraved on a wooden plaque, in a Summer walk, many years ago, while walking among the trees in Olympic National Park, in the land in which he and his tribe used to live.  I had been thinking, for a long time, about the responsibility of  developing companies which could be sustainable,  environmentally and socially responsible, and in the meantime, involving ourselves in non profit projects and associations, committing to them the skills acquired through our work.

Philanthropy, alone, would not be enough. This is the reason for which, during the last years,  I decided to transfer to others the ownership of some of our companies, (Doxa, Connexia, Save the Duck...) and to focus on Altana Childrenswear and Alchimia, our investment holding.
