Positive environment and experience
Krónan is considered a good example for companies in terms of tidiness and general upkeep. In design and construction, ways are sought to make the shop and its surroundings as tidy and accessible as possible for customers and staff. The company recently received an award from the City of Hafnarfjörður for tidiness.
Krónan is one of the companies that in August received recognition from the City of Hafnarfjörður for tidiness, good housekeeping and a professional contribution to environmental matters. „We at Krónan are grateful and proud of this recognition. All parties involved in the construction of the Krónan in Flatahraun worked together to make the shop and its surroundings as tidy and accessible as possible for customers and staff. During the design and implementation, cost-effective solutions were sought to create an environment that supports a positive customer experience, from sealed coolers to reduce energy waste, to the landscaping of the site.“ says Ósk Heiða Sveinsdóttir, Marketing Manager for Krónan, which is the first of the stores in Hafnarfjörður to offer green parking spaces with charging poles. The Krónan store in Flatahraun is considered bright and spacious, and its range of fresh and healthy produce is exemplary. „We emphasise conducting sound business practices in collaboration with suppliers who prioritise health and well-being, and we want Krónan to be a model workplace, where pay equality prevails and where emphasis is placed on the training, safety and health of our staff. We operate responsibly, thereby having a positive impact on the environment. We recognise the extensive and positive impact that Krónan can have on the community, and we will therefore do our utmost and ensure we perform to the highest standard.“ says Ósk Heiða. Among Krónan's daily priorities are reducing pollution and the waste of resources, recycling, reuse, energy saving, and projects related to reducing food waste. For example, this defines what and how to sort waste for recycling, how to analyse and measure it, and makes the information visible to staff. All employees play a major role and are responsible for environmental projects.

A cleaning challenge for businesses in Hafnarfjörður
From 15th to 30th September, businesses in Hafnarfjörður can return timber and iron to specially designated containers at three locations in the town. With this initiative, the City of Hafnarfjörður aims to bring the service closer to businesses, thereby encouraging more to take part in making the industrial estates in Hafnarfjörður tidier. A clean appearance affects perception and business, and the direct contribution of all businesses is crucial for the appearance of Hafnarfjörður's business and industrial areas.
