Approximately 15,000 employees

We would not be where we are today without all our employees. Maintaining a high tempo in a change process that involves approximately 15,000 employees throughout Sweden requires a dynamic and collaborative organisation. We know that a diversity of personalities, experiences and backgrounds is conducive to involvement and leads to more and better new ideas. When a diversity of thinking is combined with collaboration within a group, when we can use each others’ strengths, our entrepreneurship and wealth of ideas to fine-tune our food concepts and improve the customer meeting, then we can achieve amazing results.

Affordable, good and sustainable food

In a time when more and more customers are striving to incorporate sustainability into their lifestyles and where awareness is growing about the impact of food on our health and the environment, we see it as our mission to inspire and make it easy for customers to make more engaged and conscious choices. By taking responsibility for the food offering today we can make a difference for future generations. It is a responsibility we want to take to be the leader in affordable, good and sustainable food for everyone.
