Welcome to our new head office!
We are excited to share that our new office in Malmö is open! Just a short walk from our previous location in Västra Hamnen, we are now located at Hallenborgs gata 1a.
Christel Bjöwi, Malmö Site Manager, why did Duni Group decide to relocate the head office?
“First of all, we believe that the office space should reflect our employees and our culture. Flexibility was the driving force behind the design of our new space. We encourage our employees to move around in our different areas throughout the day, which facilitates interaction and collaboration.”
How is Duni Group’s approach to sustainability reflected in our new office?
“We decided early on that furniture that is not worn out should be reconditioned and re-used. Just over 80 percent of the interior furnishings are being reused, which is the best form of environmental saving. In addition to that, we have primarily bought second-hand furniture.”
“We have also a new supplier for office cleaning BioRent. They are a local player that cleans with biotechnology that is completely in line with our new strategy and values.”
Are there any specific thoughts behind staying in the area of Västra Hamnen?
“Yes, there is a sustainable mindset in Västra Hamnen that we think corresponds with Duni Group’s focus on sustainability. We feel that we should stay as close to nature as possible. This is also a strategic location that easily allows us to commute by public transport.”
Is everything in place at the new office now?
“There’s still a bit of settling in to do, and some finishing touches, but we’re ready for business in our new home!”

What Is Airlaid?
Airlaid is a common term used within the paper industry, particularly within a hospitality environment.

Is Your Online Menu Turning Customers Away?
Whilst COVID pandemic restrictions are for most a distant memory, the substantial customer shift towards online takeaway and delivery looks like it’s here to stay, and even grow to an estimated 21% of the total restaurant market by 2025. The UK takeaway industry itself has already grown 1.4% per year on average between 2017 and 2022, whilst this growth can arguably be attributed to the closure of hospitality venues during government-enforced lockdowns, early evidence shows that the trend is continuing during the early 2022 months.

Why There's No Better Time To Switch To LEDs
Restaurants, bars and hotels are hugely varied spaces, requiring careful planning to ensure the atmosphere, lighting and environment perfectly reflect your carefully crafted menu. Too bright, and you risk giving off a clinical vibe, too dark, and it becomes uncomfortable for your customers to read the menu.
Employees make the strategy take off
In line with the strategy’s bold objectives, the HR department has changed its name to People & Culture. It reflects the transformation the company is undergoing. Developing employees and leaders as well as the company culture are key initiatives to become a leading sustainability company in 2030.
