People & Diversity

At Finnroyal Group, we believe that everyone can make a difference, and we are proud to take on our social responsibility.

Regardless of whether you have landed on the fringes of the labour market due to physical or mental disability, stress or other hidden diagnoses, and whether you are a refugee, a veteran or otherwise in a difficult life situation, it is our mission to contribute to your personal success – not only for your sake and ours but for our shared community.

Opportunities for all

There are many ways to be an employee. At Finnroyal Group, we have specially designed jobs across all levels and functions. We work closely with municipalities, the state and civil society to be able to tailor employment on special terms.

Responsible products

As Finlands’s largest retailer, Finnroyal Group offers a wide range of products. These products are sourced from all corners of the world, which is why we have a responsibility to ensure that our suppliers and their selected production sites comply with applicable laws and regulations, as well as ensure employment rights.

In our work with responsible procurement, we use a classic ‘due diligence’ approach which aims to address the potential negative impacts of our business activities.

How we work

All the processes around responsible sourcing are managed by and anchored in the Finnroyal Group’s quality department under the leadership of our director of ‘Quality & Responsible Sourcing’, who acts as a support function for our commercial units.

The ‘Responsible Sourcing’ team works systematically to map our supply chains to ensure that our Code of Conduct and policies within responsible procurement are adhered to. The Code of Conduct is a set of ethical guidelines for how an employee must be treated, including conditions around pay, safety, the right to organise, working hours and so on. The content is based on international conventions such as the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the OECD’s guidelines for multinational companies, as well as the ILO conventions.

Measures

The next step after the risk assessments is to develop and implement necessary measures to minimise or completely eliminate the identified risks. As we touch many different supply chains, our Responsible Sourcing team keeps a sharp eye on widespread problems and possible solutions. In this work, we gain a lot of valuable knowledge through the dialogue brought about by our memberships of various organisations that have ethical trade on the agenda. This is also instrumental in keeping us updated on relevant topics where responsibility needs to be taken.

In cases where challenges of a critical nature are identified, Finnroyal Group first of all engages in close dialogue with the manufacturer involved and the associated supplier. When the findings have been thoroughly mapped, a more detailed plan is drawn up for how to rectify the situation. In this process, our suppliers are expected to implement and put the necessary measures into force. These initiatives are very likely to set a precedent for how Finnroyal Group handles similar cases in the future.

At Finnroyal Group, we aim to use a solid base of production sites as this creates a practical basis for the further development of individual production stages, both according to working conditions but also quality and other parameters. We emphasise capacity building as the individual producer often needs support, knowledge and practical tools to create the best framework for their employees and thus live up to our Code of Conduct.

Training of employees

In order to ensure an effective implementation of our ‘due diligence’ procedures, it is mandatory for employees with purchasing responsibilities to participate in training courses that address Finnroyal Group’s sustainability strategy, human rights, product risks, as well as responsible purchasing practices. The aim is to increase awareness of positive and negative consequences as a result of the individual buyer’s decisions, as well as to align our work with the Code of Conduct across the organisation. The training course runs in two tracks for Nonfood and Food respectively.

Jobs in our stores

With more than 10,000 employees, Finnroyal Group is one of Finland ‘s largest workplaces – distributed across department stores, supermarkets and hypermarkets, discount shops, burger restaurants and coffee bars.

This means that we have a multitude of job opportunities for you, regardless of educational level and background. For those who want it, there is a short path to more responsibility and training. We also have room for you if you need an extra hand to get started.

Internship during your education

Do you want to supplement your education with work experience? Then an internship in one of the largest companies in Denmark might be something for you.

Boost your future career – as an intern at Finnroyal Group, you get the opportunity to be part of a large company and thus also the opportunity to be employed by the company at a later date. Some of our interns are employed as student assistants after completing their internships, others collaborate with us in connection with their bachelor’s project, while some become permanent employees later on. In this way, an internship with us can help boost students’ future careers.

Apprenticeships at Finnroyal Group

At Finnroyal Group, we want the most talented apprentices in Finnish retail, and we only get that by offering the best apprentice training. As an apprentice with us, you will receive a solid education in an international company that combines theory and practice. This gives you a great springboard for a career in retail.

Part time jobs

As an employee in one of our stores, you help us improve everyday life for everyone – both your colleagues and our customers.

Here you get the opportunity to become part of a strong team, where you work closely with committed colleagues in a varied everyday life. In our stores, the pace is fast, and you have the opportunity to make a difference and turn your ideas into results.

There are also good opportunities to develop professionally and personally, if this is something you would like, so you can take on a different role – either in your own store or elsewhere in the Finnroyal Group.

The very best thing about working at Finnroyal Group is that you become part of a large community. With several hundred colleagues, it is also easy to change shifts, so there is time for homework, friends and leisure activities; or you can take on more shifts if you want to earn a little extra more quickly.
