At Lindström, work does not discriminate

Be open, accept everyone

We want to give our current and future employees equal opportunities to develop their skills and careers. That is why our recruitment system is very transparent and unbiased. Still, we constantly look for ways to innovate.

“The latest initiative we have joined is the ‘Work does not discriminate’ campaign organized by the Confederation of Finnish Industries. Our values compel us to eliminate any type of discrimination in the workplace and create an environment of equality for people, no matter their age, sex, ethnicity, nationality, opinions, religious beliefs or sexual orientation,” explains Kirsi Aropaltio.

The campaign is aimed at developing our people across the company ladder. Accordingly, it pushes us as individuals to critically examine our own actions and conduct if we genuinely make progress towards equality in our daily work. But it is also about promoting diversity in our workplace, as we believe this fuels creative thinking, understanding different perspectives and continuous learning.

The expansion of this diverse culture and atmosphere of respect is enabled by constantly challenging our assumptions and traditional way of doing things. Our approach enables us to identify flaws that were previously unnoticed. For example, we no longer request the age of job applicants, as in reality it has no real importance. We strongly believe in working together and opening ourselves to the diversity present all around. This drives us towards identifying or inventing new, creative ways of making days exciting – for us, our clients, consumers and the world.
