Unicus Impact Strategy - Theory of change

In 2022 we have continued on the same path like in 2021, when we launched an IMM (Impact Measurement and Management) initiative with a view to dig deeper in order to also look at more qualitative factors like perceived improvement in mental health/ well-being, improved quality of life etc and to do this in a more standardized and annually recurring way across all our entities in Norway, Sweden and Finland. This work is part of our daily operations in Unicus.

Customer Impacts - Impact in society

”At H&M Group, we want the composition of employees to reflect society at large. Having colleagues who contribute with different perspectives not only creates a creative work environment, but also gives us better opportunities to offer products and services that meet customers' needs”

Ida Liaaen Hotvedt – Tine

”Mariell is resourceful, thorough and very competent in her area. She has great capacity, quickly turns around to help others and meets deadlines. She may not be the loudest talker at lunch, but she is honest and speaks up when necessary. I think a diverse team is a strength for us”

Cristian Deaconeasa – H&M
