Our vision and mission

Our vision

Our customers want shopping to be an efficient, pleasant and relaxed experience. They place a high priority on value for money, they care about food safety and responsibly produced food, and they also want convenience, service, a relevant selection and guidance so that they can feel good about the choices they make. Life is about making choices.

Our mission


We make it easy for our customers to choose the best – for themselves and the people they care about.

We do this through our strong local brands and by putting the customer at the heart of every decision. We strive to stand out from the competition by providing the best products in a relevant range, the best quality, the best prices, and the best choices for a healthy lifestyle – all in the simplest way possible.

Listening to customer needs


We listen carefully to our customers, applying the insights we gain from them to meet their different needs and wishes. We are continually developing our store formats and we use in-depth customer research, new technology, and innovative ideas to create next generation supermarkets that are in tune with local customer expectations.

We believe that healthy living is important. Our local brands offer value, high quality, and healthy choices. We do this in a simple and responsible way – by providing nutritional labeling on our private brand products, for example – so that customers can make informed and confident choices.

Doing the right thing


We do the right thing for our customers by showing passion and expertise in every aspect of our business. We continually share knowledge between our businesses so that we can make things as simple as possible and provide the best offering.

Doing the right thing is about offering choices that are best suited to customer needs. It is not about the broadest possible assortment, but about enabling customers to choose the best value for their money. It is also about understanding our customers’ lives and needs and making their experience with us a good one.
