Our Commitment to Paralym Art

Since August 2024, we have been an official partner of Paralym Art, an initiative dedicated to promoting the social participation and financial independence of artists with disabilities. Through this partnership, we support artists in their creative endeavors while raising awareness to foster a more inclusive society.

As part of this initiative, we have selected two artworks that deeply resonate with our global business philosophy and are featured on our website.
