- We launched the Vaihtokauppa trade-in service, with which customers can sell their functional used electronic devices back
- We multiplied the range of second-hand products
- We sold products that customers actually need and kept the return rate low: 0.7%
- We invested in our personnel, including to our learning culture and well-being at work and halved the number of accidents at work. Diversity was promoted by setting up a diversity working group and hiring senior experience experts for the end-of-year season.
