Our Business Philosophy
Our Business Philosophy is our DNA
It fundamentally describes who we are. It is the heart and soul of our business that drives our operating philosophies, principles and decision-making. We have a universal, clear understanding of our DNA – it is what makes us unique, differentiates us from our competitors and makes our business impossible to replicate.
Our leaders play an essential role in ensuring that we remain true to our DNA. We believe in and actively practise our core beliefs.
We understand that success in fashion retail is ‘a marathon and not a sprint’, and that over time and with consistent and ongoing application of our Business Philosophy, the business will continue its success.
We create the platform and environment for teams and individuals to deliver our Purpose and live our Values so that we are able to deliver on our stakeholders’ expectations.
We practise constructive leadership, which is a blend of an unusual capacity for realistic optimism, an ability to find solutions and opportunities in adversity, and an ability to communicate and implement a vision to the business.
By knowing and understanding the uniqueness of who we are, it becomes easier to internalise and gain a true understanding of our Business Philosophy.
