A Message from Our Sponsor
Europe, Εὐρώπη (Eurṓpē) derives from the ancient Greek elements εὐρύς (eurús), "wide, broad" and ὤψ (ōps, gen. ὠπός, ōpós) "eye, face,
countenance", hence their composite Eurṓpē would mean "wide-gazing" or "broad of aspect". Keeping our line of sight clear of biases and our business aspect as broad as possible, allows us to continuously transform our work and ourselves.
