I apologise for being late. I missed part of the presentation. Innopharma Labs strikes me as a rather unusual company in that, in the first instance, it is a direct employer and obviously a successful one. However, alongside that, the company provides training programmes and work for unemployed people who may then leave the company and go and work with competitors.

It strikes me as laudable, but unusual. Is taking that responsibility a unique approach?
