Water
Water symbolizes the source of all life. Water stands for wisdom, because endlessly meandering, water always finds its way. This unique characteristic makes water the ultimate symbol for edgility and the drive to explore.
Fire
The discovery of fire changed the course of human history forever. Fire represents heat, energy and change. Fire responds to circumstances and burns for as long as it is fed. This reminds us of the need to take care of our own fuel: healthy materials, affluent green and optimum air quality. But also high-quality hospitality and sufficient recreational opportunities. Certainly: a healthy mind in a healthy body, in a healthy workplace.
Wood
Trees are an essential part of our ecosystem and are often called the “lungs of the earth”. With their multifaceted properties, trees form an indispensable foundation on our planet. Trees literally give colour to life and provide shelter to both people and animals. At the same time they are a source of food, medicine, and tools while they also purify air and release oxygen. Trees are carriers of energy and their longevity is a symbol of wisdom.
Metal
Strong and yet adaptable: metal has endless possibilities. The characteristic of metal is its ability to change shape, from solid to liquid and back again. Metal gains strength through a careful process focused on connection and thus symbolises finding new ways by sharing knowledge and joining forces.
Earth
The earth is so much more than the ground we live and work on. The element earth symbolizes the basis, the foundation, the roots from which everything originates. There is a wise lesson in that: keep growing, keep developing and cherish the place where you come from. Sustainable growth stems from the roots of the past and the present.
