Virgin is unique. We started off in the music business and now we are in the space travel
business. We’re not just in the business of
making money; we lead global sustainable

own not-for-profit foundation, Virgin
Unite. We are constantly looking for new ways to improve the environment we
operate in.
In a team or on our own, we all take on
challenges, no matter how big or small. From
our start-ups to our established businesses
we always seek out solutions in the same way. We’re passionate about creativity and taking an innovative
approach to the way we do business, never letting convention
dictate how we deliver for our customers. A great idea is a great
idea.
