To offer their customers high-quality products that are sustainable for a long time while being produced under safe and fair conditions, they pay extra attention to the choice of materials, quality, as well as chemicals and animal husbandry when developing their own clothes. Among their employees, they also encourage carpooling or the use of electric cars for longer trips, for example on kickoffs or trips to the headquarters in Grebbestad.

Diversity

The company has almost 400 employees in total, where the majority are women, which is also represented among those in Gothenburg. The average age is 30 years old, but the diversity is generally broad. The company also has a good range of different ethnicities and origins. To ensure that their employees thrive and feel good, Swedemount uses Winningtemp to follow up and listen to their staff. With a zero-tolerance policy against all types of harassment and discrimination and with clarity and transparency that permeates the company, Swedemount applies a structured approach to create a safe and good a workplace.

Furthermore, they aim to have an open and transparent workplace where everyone helps each other and solves problems together. All employees, regardless of their role, are encouraged to try working in operations, either in stores or in the warehouse, to gain a better understanding of the business and its products and to contribute to the company's success.

Location

Currently, Swedemount's Gothenburg office is located at Datavägen 17 in Sisjön, but in May they will move to a brand new office at Röra Byväg 5 in Torslanda. The new office is located on the 2nd floor and is 1000m² in size. The remaining 20,000m² will be the core for Swedemount's warehouse and logistics operations. Here, they will use an automated robot solution to send e-commerce orders to customers around Sweden and the world.All types of departments from Swedemount will be gathered at the new office, from HR, Finance, Purchasing, and Logistics to Design, E-commerce, and IT. Warehouse personnel will also be located here. On the 2nd-floor office plan, approximately 40 employees will sit in the newly built premises, which include an open office landscape with several small offices and meeting rooms. There will also be activity rooms, lounge areas, pantries, and a completely private gym with a sauna.As the office is located a bit outside of the city, it is easiest to get there by car, so Swedemount will offer free parking for all employees as well as the possibility to charge electric cars. However, it is possible to get there by public transportation, but it is somewhat limited in the area.
