Industria in Latin means "activity" in general and "application" and derives from industrius ("active, zealous"). The English word appeared for the first time around 1520. By showcasing the Industria notion, the Rothschild family incorporates an essential notion of the capitalist ethic. Making money is the expression of application and competence in a professional capacity.
For the Edmond de Rothschild Group, Industria is above all a love of entrepreneurship which implies freedom of action for staff members (autonomy, innovation, support) and close relations with the hierarchy (human size structures, direct contact, and reactiveness). Seeking performance is fundamental and is reinforced by diversification across businesses, staff profiles and competencies. |
