Axelerate
Axelerate is a business area within Axel Johnson dedicated to advancing inclusion both within our companies and in society at large. Axelerate provides expertise, tools, networks and financial support. By sharing knowledge and leading progress on inclusion, we aim to inspire others to take responsibility and drive change together.
A catalyst for inclusion
As one of Sweden's largest private employers, our work on inclusion is about ensuring that we attract, retain and develop talented and ambitious employees in the best possible way, regardless of background. But inclusion is also about the responsibility of companies to contribute to a cohesive society. Every individual who is given the opportunity to participate fully in working life and become productive not only strengthens our companies, but also contributes to more prosperous and richer societies.
Axelerate focuses on two areas: 1) creating more inclusive workplaces and 2) generating a positive impact on society. Through our ecosystem, with Axelerate at its centre, we bring together different stakeholders to strengthen inclusion in our workplaces and in society.
01. Positive impact on society
Axelerate is an active partner in social initiatives that contribute to a more inclusive society. Our active partnership model means that, in addition to financial support, we actively contribute tools, expertise, networks and impact measurement. When we engage, we do so early and remain involved over time to ensure that our efforts create long-term, positive change. By sharing knowledge and leading the development of inclusion, we also aim to inspire other organizations to take responsibility and drive change together.
02. Inclusive workplaces
We strive for all our companies to offer a workplace free from discrimination. The next step is to make the most of our employees’ unique experiences, abilities and perspectives. We are convinced that a diversity of perspectives is essential to understanding, managing and solving complex problems. To strengthen inclusion, we work on both culture and behaviors, while systematically reviewing our processes and analyzing employee data. We also develop research-based insights and take steps to strengthen knowledge across the group.
