Sustainability Report, Reporting year 2022

More than a job a career

Employee testimony This year we invited Anders Storm Vestergaard to share his experience going from an internship to a managerial role. His professional journey has involved more than promotions, as he also had the chance to work in different offices. Now based in Brussels, Belgium, he shared the following:

“My journey at Lyreco started in Denmark, as a marketing assistant intern. From day one, I was provided with the framework for success and empowered by being given responsibility. Thus, I had the opportunity to grow and expand my knowledge outside of my position and take on new responsibilities such as event planning, social media, corporate websites, etc. After some time in the company, I was encouraged to apply for a position at Lyreco Group. Not only was I hired as Group Digital Communications Manager, but Lyreco took care of the relocation to ensure a smooth transition. Working in an international environment in both Belgium and France gave me the opportunity to work together with people from different cultures around the world. These collaborations have improved my ability to resolve crises, enhanced my leadership and project management skills, and prepared me for any future challenges. Thanks to Lyreco’s mobility programme, I have acquired invaluable experiences that I will carry with me for the rest of my professional and personal life.”

At Lyreco, the People pillar is driven by strong local initiatives, but we also support our people with centrally developed talent and performance management processes that are applied in all countries. Internal mobility We are committed to supporting our people to grow throughout their careers and to ensuring regular developmental opportunities including international assignments. From short-term temporary projects to permanent transfers or long-term assignments, Lyreco mobility programmes offer employees the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally whilst supporting the global footprint of the company. It is a vote of confidence on both sides.

From an internship in Denmark to a managerial role at Group level, I have been given the opportunity to grow. Anders Storm Vestergaard
