Purpose & Values

Together as a team, we at the DOUGLAS Group strive to make every day more beautiful – for our employees, for our customers and for the world around us. The guiding principle of our actions: our shared purpose and the values we live by every day.

MAKE LIFE MORE BEAUTIFUL.

For us, beauty is more than just a world of products. Beauty is a feeling, something interpreted by each of us individually through which our wonderful diversity can manifest. At the DOUGLAS Group, we have been doing our part from the very beginning too awaken and spread this feeling and cultivate it from within: We make life more beautiful. That’s the core of what forms our culture. We stand for respecting others and acting responsibly, for openness and trust, and we know that each individual’s contribution is invaluable. Our passion for people and a desire to help them feel beautiful just as they are, are what unites our around 18,000 employees. We make everyone feel appreciated: seen, heard and valued. We celebrate uniqueness. We are motivated by our sense of ownership to go beyond the expected to achieve our common goals.

 That’s how we grow, that’s what makes us better. Every day.
