​​Dear colleagues,

​It has been a year since HELLA and Faurecia joined forces within FORVIA. As part of our common journey, we have embarked on a joint reflection on our culture. Together, we have defined our identity, our vision and our mission to become a sustainable mobility tech leader.
​Today, I am very happy to inform you about another milestone on our path of growing together. Hand in hand, HELLA and Faurecia have developed six strong, shared values. These new FORVIA/HELLA values are the foundation of our common culture.
​The six FORVIA/HELLA values are grounded in our previous HELLA and the former Faurecia values. In view of the crises, constant disruptions, and uncertainty of our time, it became obvious that we needed to adapt to remain relevant and address our current and future challenges. Therefore, we engaged in a collaborative journey, bringing together talented individuals from both HELLA and Faurecia in co-design workshops. These workshops were truly inspiring, as we witnessed strong common grounds, easy convergence, and overwhelming agreement on key topics. This closeness is now expressed in a strong common set of values.

​I am proud to present to you the new FORVIA/HELLA values that form a uniform compass of conduct that is binding for HELLA and Faurecia employees. In short, they form the foundation of our FORVIA culture:

​We drive with vision

• By inspiring and leading our teams toward a high level of engagement to achieve a safe, affordable and sustainable mobility for all. ​
• By demonstrating ambition for the business, entrepreneurship, courage and energy.

​We build on accountability ​

• By taking full ownership of our scope of responsibility, empowered by delegation and appropriate resources, with full transparency of successes and mistakes.
• By committing to delivering results, creating value and having a positive impact on society.

​We cultivate teamwork

• ​By leveraging strengths and diversity of profiles, engaging them in constructive dialogue, while involving our entire ecosystem to build a sustainable future. ​
• By attracting and developing the best talents and ensuring robust succession.

​We embrace agility

• ​By demonstrating situational awareness, willingness and ability to constantly learn to perform successfully in a fast-changing environment. ​
• By taking initiative to successfully navigate unknown and unforeseen challenges.

​We act with respect ​

• By building long-term relationships with stakeholders and treating them fairly with respect. ​
• By developing a trustful and caring environment where all talents can grow to their ultimate potential.

​We believe in open-mindedness

• ​By constantly looking for innovation, listening to open new business perspectives. ​
• By welcoming diversity of ideas and experiences, and building an inclusive culture.

These values represent who we are as FORVIA. They unite us and make us proud of our work. They have a direct impact on how we collaborate within our teams and interact with our stakeholders.
​I encourage each and every one of you to embrace these values. Let them guide your actions, decisions, and interactions as we work together towards our shared vision. The Management Board must and will lead by example. Let us create an environment where everyone feels inspired, empowered, and motivated to bring their best selves to work.
Over the coming weeks, we will be rolling out initiatives to embed these values within our organization. I am excited to start this new chapter with all of you, united by our FORVIA/HELLA values.

​Yours sincerely,
Michel Favre
CEO
