Vision
Merison wants to improve the quality and pleasure of life for end consumers and therefore indirectly also for customers, employees, and other stakeholders, all at the lowest-possible cost.
Mission
Merison wants to accomplish this vision by being the best designer, supplier, and distributor of a broad range of well-designed, functional “Kitchen & Living” articles for in and around the home. We continually invest in order to be able to offer our customers the best products and services. We strive towards the creation of an inspiring working environment for our employees, we do our best to remain a valued client of our own suppliers, and we don’t forget our responsibilities as a firm mindful of its obligations to its social environment. The intended result is to be and to remain a healthy company and to realize our business principles.
Company principals
Performance, Care and Fun are Merison’s business principles. These are the motivating force in our relations with our customers, suppliers, business partners, shareholders, and with society in general.
Performance
- Customer-oriented: seeing things through the customer’s eyes.
- Honest.
- Reliable: keeping our promises.
- Professional: with more than 100 years’ of experience, we know our business.
- Intelligent: effective and efficient.
- Innovative: new developments become business opportunities.
- Cost-aware: respect for money and costs.
Care
As a business we also have a responsibility towards all those who are involved with our company. This responsibility forms the basis of the way we do business.
- Respect for our employees, they are the motor of our company.
- Respect for business partners, as they are literally “our partners”.
- Respect for our social environment, based upon our “Code of Conduct”.
Fun
If “Performance” and “Care” are about quality, “Fun” is about the pleasure we take in our company and our environment. It has to be fun! Through consideration for each other, and through activities that have little or nothing to do directly with our daily tasks, work at Merison is not only a job but is inspired by the good working environment created. In the norms and values that Merison holds dear, the individual is the centre of the attention. There is scope for personal wishes, and for consideration of individual circumstances. This applies to employees, clients, suppliers, and to society in general.
Society
- Merison is a company where communication is honest and open, without hierarchy.
- An informal atmosphere, without any barriers between individual groups in the company. This informal atmosphere does not lead to lack of discipline.
- Merison is an organization with the minimum bureaucracy, with a focus on enthusiasm, creativity, and vitality. There is a continual impulse here towards innovation, speed, short lines of communication, no sub-groups, solidarity, curiosity and flexibility.
- There is great freedom of action for those who can and dare to take independent action.
- We will never accept the impossible and the negative, but will do everything possible to recover from any errors and do things better next time.
- We’ve got to accomplish it together. This means that we respect and value each other, and help each other whenever necessary.
- The employees are the ambassadors of the company. They must know the company and represent it in an appropriate way.
- We keep track of social developments, and adjust our business conduct accordingly.
