Can you describe your typical day at Ekibio?
Every day I have to carry out stock checks, to be able to readjust orders and deliveries if necessary. Apart from that, my day entirely depends on the priorities to be dealt with.

What skills do you think are needed to do your job?
You need to be able to adapt to different circumstances, be thorough and have good analytical skills.

What made you want to come and work for Ekibio?
There were several factors. First of all, it’s a well-established company, and well-known in specialist organic stores. But above all I am very much interested in the benefits of a healthy diet, and I really believe in Ekibio’s values, especially its approach to environmentally-friendly production.

What do you like about your job?
The supply chain department acts like the lung of the company and I like the fact that I work there. We have to deal with so many different situations on a daily basis, there’s no typical routine. Finally, my colleagues in the purchasing department are great people to work with, and there’s a good atmosphere in our office every day.

What do you like about Ekibio?
Like I said, the atmosphere and the values, as well as the whole environment in general, which is dynamic and constantly evolving. Also, we work in a sector that deals with satisfying basic needs, and provides people with the chance of an organic and eco-responsible diet. Finally, the company’s CSR policy emphasises sustainable development and the well-being of employees at work, providing sports and sophrology sessions and other perks.

Why do you think Ekibio is a human enterprise?
Thanks to the working environment for employees in-house. Also, Ekibio provides support for farmers by creating partnerships. Through this effort, Ekibio has developed a business that remains focused on people and is socially responsible.
