CEO, Lindex

With about 440 retail stores, sales online worldwide through third-party partnerships and more than 600 MEUR in turnover, Lindex is one of Europe’s leading forces within women’s fashion. The company has been established since 1954 and sustainability is an integral part of Lindex’ DNA. In her talk at Omnichannel Index, CEO Susanne Ehnbåge will reflect on how Lindex is growing and is in a major transformation – a journey as a global, ‘digital-first’ and sustainable fashion company.

The examples of how Lindex approaches omnichannel with a sustainability perspective are plenty. From their focus on understanding customer expectations in order to bring down return rates to their +100 mEUR investment in a new, fully automated omnichannel warehouse that will enable a continued sustainable growth in more channels as well as for new business opportunities.

Most recently, the company has also taken steps towards circularity by introducing new fibres based on recycled textiles. Not to mention the opening of a pop-up store with the goal of making second-hand shopping accessible for its customers.

In her talk, Susanne Ehnbåge will elaborate on Lindex’ strategic approach to sustainability and present some of their key learnings and results, including the fact that they have managed to bring down their total CO2 emission in recent years despite significant revenue growth.
