Etos B.V., trading asEtos, was founded in 1919 byPhilips to create a grocery and drugstore where Philips employees could benefit from lower priced products than the average stores. "Etos" is an abbreviation for the Dutch words:Eendracht, Toewijding, Overleg and Samenwerking (Unity, Devotion, Consultation and Cooperation). Since July 1, 2021, the Sebastiaan de Jong has served as brand president.[3]
