Our most important success factor is our workforce. Their ideas, their expertise and their creative contributions are what make us the organisation we are today. We believe in flat hierarchies, short communication paths and we encourage independence and initiative. Teamwork is at the core of everything we do, even if our teams are sometimes located on different continents. We all work towards a common goal to provide our customers with the latest bonprix looks, wherever they are in the world. We learn collectively from experience and celebrate our successes together. To summarize: bonprix – it's us!
