It is a 12-month development program for female talents at MEKO, aimed at promoting gender equality and increasing the representation of female leaders. The program is designed to support and develop female talents through mentorship, coaching, and network building. Each adept will work towards individually tailored goals with the guidance of a mentor, focusing on leadership and other areas of personal growth.  "By implementing a women's empowerment program, we can create a more inclusive and supportive culture that fosters the growth of women leaders and thus increases diversity and representation in leadership positions”, says Malin Fagerlund, Chief Human Resources Officer at MEKO’s swedish operations. We hope that the Astrid program will create strong networks and help us achieve our goal of having 20 percent female leaders by 2030. Together, we are building an even more inclusive and supportive workplace.

𝗠𝗘𝗞𝗢 𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗼𝗻 𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸 𝗜𝗻𝗱𝗲𝘅 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗰𝗸 𝗺𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 We are pleased to announce that MEKO, since December 2nd 2024 are one of the new companies in the OMX Stockholm Benchmark index.     The OMX Stockholm Benchmark Index (OMXSB) consists of a selection of the largest and most traded stocks, with representation from a majority of the super sectors. The weight of each constituent is based on a free float market capitalization, which means that only the part of the share capital that is considered to be available for trading is included in the index. The index serves as an indicator of the overall performance on NASDAQ OMX Stockholm and is intended to be a cost-efficient index that an investor can fully replicate.

𝗪𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴𝗲𝗿 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗻𝘆 – 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗘𝗞𝗢 𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗲 MEKO is growing and becoming stronger, most recently through the acquisition of Elit Polska in Poland. Together, we are creating synergies and collaborations that make us stand out. At our recent management conference, we focused on strengthening collaboration across the group – a crucial step in building a unified and stronger MEKO. As part of this journey, we will simplify our naming structure starting in 2025. Support functions across our business areas will transition to the MEKO name. For example, the Mekonomen Company brand in Sweden and Norway will be phased out and replaced with MEKO. Additionally, some business areas may choose to use the MEKO name more extensively in operations where it supports their goals and strengthens their position. This allows us to redirect even more resources towards the brands that matter most when engaging directly with our customers: Mekonomen Sverige, MECA, FTZ Autodele & Værktøj A/S, Autovaraosa Fixus Oy, AutoMester, BilXtra and several others. These local customer-facing brands are crucial assets that drive our success, now and in the future. This is one of the ways we are building a stronger MEKO – together with our fantastic teams. The journey continues! 🚀 #MEKO #BuildingAStrongerMEKO
