Inclusion and diversity at Kappahl

At Kappahl we see each other’s differences as valuable contributions to the company’s development and culture.

We are about 4,000 employees in 10 countries with different backgrounds, ages, skills and fashion styles and we work actively with equal opportunities for all.

Everybody who works here shall have the same opportunities regardless of gender identity or expression, ethnical background, religion, disabilities, sexual orientation, or age. We have a zero-tolerance against all forms of discrimination, harassment, or bullying.

We exist to celebrate diversity in everyday life

Our purpose – to celebrate diversity in everyday life – was a natural starting point when Per-Olof Ahl founded the company in the 1960s. He recognized the value of creating a good corporate culture and did that by the simple strategy to treat his colleagues as friends and show all the same respect. That is our legacy, and we strive to continuously develop our culture of inclusion and equality for all.

“I work at Kappahl because I love fashion. Fashion can reflect personality so I wanted to be a part of this trade – and I feel that I can be myself at Kappahl.” Kulsum, Merchandiser at Kappahl
