Sustainable and Inclusive
Everyone should feel equally valued and be treated with respect. At Svenska Mässan Gothia Towers, we see each individual’s unique qualities as an asset. With around one thousand employees speaking 40 different languages, we create a dynamic and inclusive workplace where everyone has the opportunity to grow. Diversity, equality and inclusion are important to us, and we celebrate our differences together. The real challenge lies in turning our values into action. Here are a few examples of how we do just that.
