The title image of the corporate report “Sharing Values 2013”
is a collage from our “Wall of Inspiration.” This online platform – launched on the occasion of Symrise’s ten-year anniversary – asks the questions: Where do I get my inspiration? What are the moments that enrich our lives, our work and our everyday activities? Our employees were and are able to post everything that they find fun and inspiring. This resulted in a vibrant patchwork of images that comes to life thanks to cultural differences and personal ideas and touches – truly a “Wall of Inspiration.” It is a piece of art, an expression of creativity and simultaneously a virtual reflection of our values.
