Guided by
Our founding principles
More than 30 years ago Troels Holch Povlsen, BESTSELLER's founder, phrased 10 founding principles for our company. The principles were reliable guidelines back then, and today they still express the essence of the BESTSELLER spirit.
Values
Our values
One World, One Philosophy, One Family is the symbol of the company culture of BESTSELLER.

Our company is built upon fairness, opportunities and a sense of responsibility towards our surroundings. We believe that cultural differences are an advantage promoting quality, good results and strong values. Our world may be large but we strive to create nearness despite distance.

We make BESTSELLER’s 10 Founding Principles come alive. They define our values and are reflected in the way we interact with the world around us. We base all relations on trust, respect and honesty. Our founding principles guide our actions and determine how we do business.
Our vision
