Company Description

WHO WE ARE

Indigo is a physical and digital place inspired by and filled with books, ideas, beautifully designed lifestyle products, and the creative people who help make it all happen. We believe in real books, living life fully and generously, being kind to each other and to the environment, and that stories – big and little – connect us. Indigo is our customer’s happy place – for joyful moments of discovery and to connect with people who share their passion for reading, their belief in ideas, and their commitment to making the world a better and more beautiful place.

OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES

These Guiding Principles are the foundational ideas that influence everything we do, every day.

In practice they shape our culture.

• We are committed to hiring, inspiring, retaining and promoting ‘the best’ Building a great company requires great people – people who are passionate about the brand, have demonstrated a commitment to excellence, are caring, and who are curious about how to make things better for customers, employees, and shareholders. We will continually focus on building a special organization - one which recruits with care, invests in people, embraces diversity, creates the opportunity for people to do their best work, and ‘lives’ our Guiding Principles every day.
• We are committed to being totally, relentlessly customer-centric Everyone in the company must know how their role impacts our end customers, as well as any internal customers. We want every employee to think intentionally about what our customers value and continually put energy into surfacing new and better ways to deliver value to them. Being customer-centric equally means if a problem with a customer surfaces, we go the extra mile to address it and then look to eliminate the reasons the problem happened to begin with. We believe that every customer counts and that being passionate about satisfying customer needs and expectations is what earns ‘brand love’.
• We are committed to caring about each other, our communities and our environment We believe that as an enterprise we have a double bottom line – to succeed and to do so while caring for our planet and enriching the lives of others who are part of our ecosystem. This includes that we have a responsibility to give back in ways that have impact.
• We are committed to being data/insight driven– system thinking – entrepreneurialOn being data/insight driven: We are committed to using data to create meaningful insights that support continually optimized business decisions. Being data driven is about surfacing relevant data and presenting data to ‘tell a story’ that inspires effective decision making and creative thinking. On systems thinking: To be a sustainably high-performing organization, capable of achieving ever-higher levels of customer engagement, employee engagement, and profitability, requires end-to-end systems thinking. End-to-end systems thinking will inform how processes are designed, how technology is leveraged and how roles and structures are designed. Everyone in the company will be supported in developing meaningful systems thinking capability. On being entrepreneurial: Building an entrepreneurial culture is about inspiring and empowering people to meaningfully contribute to business growth and profitability. It is also about experiencing personal growth and earning meaningful rewards.
• We are committed to true and shared value creation Everyone who is part of this enterprise should feel fairly rewarded for their contribution – employees, investors, suppliers.
• We are committed to being human-centered and AI enabled We will leverage AI to support human potential, inspire human innovation and creativity, and improve overall decision making — all in support of our mission to inspire reading and enrich the lives of our customers.
