- Create an amazing solution that is easily scalable and transferable, i.e. to other companies;
- Empower individual and structural change by making its effect measurable.
The Challenger

Since it was founded in 1947, H&M has grown from a single women’s wear store in Västerås, Sweden into one of the world’s leading fashion companies, with six different brands, around 3,900 stores, and 132,000 employees in 61 markets.
