Personality and culture
Our people power our purpose
For us, a “purpose-driven workplace” is more than just words; it is our guiding principle. We have embedded our purpose at the core of our corporate culture. It’s not merely about delivering products and services; it’s about creating meaningful experiences for our consumers, partners, and employees. At Coop Trading we believe in creating a purpose-driven workplace where our employees feel connected to our purpose of being better everyday through leading Nordic private brands.
Our personality – an ambitious, responsible, and passionate game-changer who challenges the status quo through knowledge and cooperation – sets the tone for our organization. It underlines our commitment to advancing our purpose. It encapsulates the essence of who we are and who we strive to be. This personality serves as our guiding star, shaping our actions and interactions e.g. with our partners.
The importance of a good working environment
Our dedicated employees represent our most important resource and we firmly believe in the quality of our workplace being an important lever for achieving outstanding business goals year after year. Our colleagues ensure that we every year reach our ambitious targets. They are the reson we can create leading Nordic private brands. They make us the Nordic competence center with their knowledge and passion. And they take great pride in making a positive difference in 27 million Nordic consumers’ everyday.
We give importance to the working environment in general and to the safety, health and well-being of the individual employee in particular. Management and employees at all levels have a collective responsibility to ensure a good working environment.
