Working for increased inclusion

ICA Gruppen works actively to create an inclusive culture. Inclusive means that everyone feels respected, valued, supported and encouraged to achieve their full potential. This is about the right to be yourself. ICA Gruppen believes that inclusion and diversity are strong factors in promoting creativity, innovation and a sense of belonging. Inclusion and diversity is one aspect of ICA Gruppen’s HR strategy and ambition for 2025.
