Our annual results are here ✨ In 2023-24, our performance was impacted by challenging conditions in the global fashion market. Despite this, we continued to invest in transforming our business to adapt to new demands. Turning to this year’s financial results, our bottom-line profitability improved despite pressure on top-line revenue. This was primarily driven by sales from retail stores and efficiency gains in our logistics operations. 📉 Revenue decreased 4% to DKK 35.6 billion 📈 Profitability increased 8% to DKK 5.3 billion Swipe through these pages for a statement by Anders Holch Povlsen, CEO & Owner of BESTSELLER, and a few highlights from our integrated report. #AnnualResult #IntegratedReporting #Sustainability #ThisIsBESTSELLER

The world of finance can seem complicated and scary – especially for those of us that don’t know it 🧐 Luckily, we have great colleagues to take our hand and show us their line of work, providing us with an insight into the many important functions there is to explore. Having been a Finance Specialist at BESTSELLER for well over ten years, Dorte Mikkelsen knows a thing or two about her field. She’s travelled the world in efforts to support our markets in their use of the financial system ‘SAP’ and mastered the ever-changing skills of successfully training colleagues to ensure smooth implementations of new financial business models. “A few years ago, we started implementing a new version of ‘SAP’. A change like that requires lots of testing and training, and it’s an important task for me to ensure that I support my colleagues in the best way possible to take on these new challenges.” We asked Dorte to share her favourite part about working in Finance in BESTSELLER: “I like the many different tasks that lies with us – I love balancing many things at once and getting the chance to connect with colleagues from many different markets and countries. I’m very grateful for my responsibility and freedom - elements we value highly in Finance." Here's to inspiring and helpful colleagues like Dorte! 🌟 #ThisIsBESTSELLER #Finance #OwnYourCareer

For Vero Moda’s recent collaboration, the brand once again teamed up with Kræftens Bekæmpelse (The Danish Cancer Society) to contribute to the 'Støt Brysterne' campaign – an annual awareness campaign in support of breast cancer research.  This time, the team designed and produced a gratitude journal with 100% of the proceeds going directly to breast cancer research. The brand is also committing to donate a minimum of DKK 125,000.  Research shows that reflecting on what we are grateful for can have positive effects on mental health and well-being. That’s why the team opted for a gratitude journal to support the cause: "Being a partner in the 'Støt Brysterne' campaign allows us to support a cause that affects so many lives. Our Gratitude Journal is more than just a product – it’s a tool for reflection and well-being, and we’re proud to contribute 100% of its proceeds to breast cancer research,” says Maria Bjerregaard, International Marketing Manager at VERO MODA.     The journal is available in Danish stores and online for Denmark-based customers.  #Collaboration #NGO #StøtBrysterne #VEROMODA #ThisIsBESTSELLER 

How can the textile industry collaborate to boost the use of recycled materials? This was the central question at a recent meeting hosted by BESTSELLER at our Aarhus office, where we brought together the Recycled Textile Fibers working group, led by the Lifestyle & Design Cluster. With a goal for 40% of all clothing sold in Denmark to contain recycled materials by 2030, collaboration has never been more important. As demand for circular products rises and upcoming legislation places more responsibility on manufacturers, sharing knowledge and working together across the supply chain is vital. The voluntary group heard presentations from BESTSELLER and Syre who highlighted advancements in recycled polyester, and discussions emphasised the importance of cooperation between brands and suppliers. Together, we are tackling the challenges and driving progress towards a more circular future. 🤝 Let’s keep pushing forward and building partnerships that make a difference! #RecycledMaterials #TextileInnovation #Collaboration #ThisIsBESTSELLER

A new take on ‘hygge’ 🎉 BESTSELLER Austria recently kicked off the new financial year with its annual summer party. This year, the event was inspired by the Danish word ‘hygge’ – a term that translates into a warm, cosy, and inviting atmosphere. Set at the vineyards on the outskirts of Vienna, the team had created a local interpretation of the term by adding classical Viennese music and traditional dishes into the mix. The evening ended on a high note with a busy dance floor and an award show to celebrate the outstanding achievements of the year. Sounds like the perfect mix of Austrian and Danish culture 🇦🇹🇩🇰 #Colleagues #Event #AwardShow #ThisIsBESTSELLER

Six months ago, we invested in a sustainability initiative in Africa to improve water and education infrastructure for organic cotton farming communities. Now, over 4,000 people in two towns in Benin, now have better access to clean water and education. We worked with the Cotton made in Africa (CmiA) Community Cooperation Programme, an initiative of the Aid by Trade Foundation, to directly improve the wellbeing of people farming CmiA Organic cotton for our products. Through the programme, we supported the building of school classrooms, providing seating, and drilling of two boreholes for clean water. We also supported hygiene training to ensure the benefits continue long-term. This project directly supports the CmiA Organic farmers who produce the organic cotton used in ONLY’s jeans programmes, helping improve traceability and livelihoods. #OrganicCotton #CottonMadeInAfrica #CleanWater #ThisIsBESTSELLER

While these new JACK & JONES trousers might look like an ordinary pair of cargo pants, they’re anything but 🔬🧵 Made with 40% INFINNA™ fibre and 60% in-conversion cotton, this style not only represents the brand’s second collaboration with Finnish innovator Infinited Fiber Company – but also a new step in the JACK & JONES material innovation journey. INFINNA™ is created solely from textile waste and can replace cotton in garments. Elaborating on the use of this innovative fibre, Elena Osenbrüg, Sustainability Lead at JACK & JONES, says: “We’ve always been curious about new innovations, and INFINNA™ seamlessly integrates into our designs. Turning textile waste into something fresh and wearable is an exciting leap forward.” We can’t wait to see what this great duo will come up with next 🤝 #Sustainability #Innovation #CircularDesign #ThisIsBESTSELLER
