The Ikano spirit
The competitors can copy every part and aspect of our business, but not the Ikano spirit. This is what sets us apart from others.
The Ikano spirit is summarised in something we call “Our essence”. It includes our vision and mission, what we stand for and how we want to be perceived. Our essence also tells our history and where we come from, which has formed our Ikano spirit.
We think that no one is the best in the world at everything they do. We need to surround ourselves with colleagues who can compensate for our weaknesses in order to build strong teams.
We believe in a better way together.
Our values
Common sense and simplicity
Common sense and simplicity are part of our heritage and our culture. Understanding the needs of our customers and finding ways to improve the quality of their everyday lives is more important to us than following the latest trends.
We have a practical, down-to-earth business approach and a cost conscious mind-set. We believe that the simpler the rules, the more natural it is to work with them. The simpler the explanation, the easier it is to understand and to carry out.
Working together
We all have different qualities. We surround ourselves with people of different strengths in order to create competent and dynamic teams.
Ikano is characterised by people who work together and respect each other’s efforts. We create an environment where everybody is important and valuable knowledge, experience and good ideas are shared. Mistakes help us to learn and improve and we share our learnings with each other.
Daring to be different
On fair terms
At Ikano we ask ourselves: “Is this on fair terms?” We constantly review our solutions and our way of working with customers, partners and co-workers. The reason for this is that we are in business for the long run and we seek long-lasting relationships.
Being on fair terms is essential for building strong relationships, creating value and growing a business. We live this promise because we know that the quality and reputation of a company is determined by the promise made and the promise kept.
Our people idea
Together, we create a great place to work where people are inspired to be the best they can be while contributing to a better life for our customers and the long-term success of Ikano.
