Sustainability and social responsibility have always been important parts of the Alektum Group culture. We believe in making a difference in society, for our customers and for our customer’s customers. We live in a time where more people consume above their means and end up in unsustainable situations, which is not good for anyone – not for the over-indebted, not for the debt collection companies and not for businesses. We want to give people the opportunity to live the life they want – and can afford – today and tomorrow.
Launched in 2019, the Shop Lagom initiative was started to inspire healthy and sustainable shopping habits and minimise over-indebtedness.
Unpaid debts are on the rise all across Europe, and more and more people are becoming over-indebted. Many of the collection notes that Alektum Group send out are still not fully paid after two years. In other words, many invoice- and credit purchases should never have been completed.
The website www.shoppalagom.se is the main hub for the initiative. Here you can find advice on managing personal finances, tips and tricks and a simple budget template that shows room for consumption.
