It is therefore very fitting on the same day I also celebrate and welcome every employee of Safer Sphere as a partner within the business.

This provision has been put in place to align with our business growth plan, reward our team for their substantial efforts and to enable them to share in the future successes that we hope to see in the coming years and beyond.
