The foundation of Boozt’s success lies in its corporate culture—a culture that values innovation, responsibility, and customer focus.
At Boozt, we encourage a "Care-Why" mindset, challenging employees to question the status quo, think critically, and take ownership of their work. This approach fosters an environment where ongoing improvement is encouraged.
In Boozt Group, our goal is to cultivate a robust, secure, and safe organisation built on our core values. Central to this mission is our commitment to ensuring the safety, fair treatment, and protection of employees' rights.
Our core values of Trust, Freedom, and Responsibility guide every decision we make. Trust fosters collaboration and mutual respect, Freedom empowers employees to innovate, and Responsibility ensures accountability.
Together, these values help create a workplace that supports creativity and aligns with Boozt’s vision of becoming the leading Nordic Department Store.
The culture extends beyond internal operations and shapes how we interact with customers, partners, and the broader community.
By fostering trust, freedom, and responsibility, Boozt keeps its strategy aligned with the needs of its stakeholders.
