We take climate change very seriously and work very hard to minimize our carbon footprint. We do this by buying less plastic and more renewable materials (everything which grows) – and we also want to make sure that all stores are run on renewable energy. We walk the talk – and make sure that what we do is validated by external experts, in the Science Based Targets initiative. You can read more about our work with climate action here

A visit to Flying Tiger Copenhagen is an experience. That's why we've gone from a pound store back in 1995 to a successful international concept with original, colorful, practical and fun products – and Danish design – at affordable prices today. With more than 900 stores in 30 countries in Europe, Japan and South Korea, Flying Tiger Copenhagen is growing fast. Every month, 300 new products arrive on our shelves, half of them designed by our own designers. It's all built on a workplace where a relaxed atmosphere combined with commitment, personal responsibility, a taste for change and a good-sized helping of imagination keep things moving and developing all the time.
