The Essence of Company Culture
Company culture encompasses the beliefs, values, norms, and behaviours that define how an organization operates. It serves as the guiding force that shapes attitudes, interactions, and decision-making processes. At Zeeks, we have established a culture that revolves around our core values of innovation, creativity, and sustainability. This culture fosters an environment of collaboration, respect, and continuous growth, enabling us to deliver exceptional work while being mindful of our impact on the planet.
Nurturing Processes, Partnerships, and Customer Care
A robust company culture goes beyond a set of values; it permeates every aspect of our operations. Thus, we have developed strong processes that streamline our workflow, ensuring efficiency and consistent quality in our artistic creations. We have forged strategic partnerships with suppliers and collaborators who align with our values and share our commitment to sustainability. Additionally, customer care is a top priority for us. We strive to exceed expectations, ensuring their satisfaction and fostering long-term relationships.
Adding Value to Humanity with a Sustainable Approach
We believe that everyone has the power to make a positive impact on humanity. Our company culture is rooted in the idea of adding value not only to our customers but also to society as a whole. Sustainability is at the core of our operations, guiding our choices in materials, production methods, and business practices. We aim to minimize our ecological footprint and contribute to a greener, more sustainable future. By incorporating sustainability into our culture, we align our values with the well-being of the planet.
Some examples include:
- holding online meetings rather than travel;
- using solar energy to power our office;
- using sustainably resources timber for our canvas frames.
