Report theme: Symbiosis

This report is inspired by the project and exhibition ‘Symbiosis’ at Färgfabriken. Symbiosis is Greek and can be translated as ‘living with’. The original meaning is a biological description of two organisms being mutually dependent on each other. For Lindéngruppen the concept of symbiosis captures how we relate to the world around us and create value together with our companies and partners.
