At Signol, we’re constantly looking at products, initiatives, and news that inspire and move us to keep striving to be the best company we possibly can be. We used to get some of that information from meeting new customers, peers at Founders Factory, and networking - but since Covid-19, we’re primarily sharing internally.
To keep up the spirit of sharing findings we’re passionate about, we’ve decided to run a series called Four Links To Make You Think weekly through the summer. Feel free to respond with your own findings, comments, or share away! We’re looking forward to seeing all of your thoughts and debate - just like we do internally.

For the first time, climate law will be extended to cover international aviation and shipping.”
