Thank you for your submission, COS Europe, it made for a great reading! I appreciated the shift of your EPA Awards from recognising individuals to spotlighting high‑performing teams, and can see how that makes for a strong cultural statement. It was great to read about the unwavering intention and drive behind your initiatives, and I particularly applaud you for how you make every day experiences meaningful for your people.

The retail space comes with unique challenges, and it’s inspiring to see how you foster a fun, inclusive, and diverse working culture across regions. Your strong focus on inclusion and gender neutrality is particularly advanced compared to other entries, which is commendable.

Well-being initiatives, like Mental Health Awareness Workshops for managers, are impactful and foster a supportive work environment.
