Continuously advance our platform for a better tomorrow for us all.
The place where you can be 100% you
Bol, truly the store of us all. A place where you can be a 100% yourself. That is our ambition. You can only be yourself if we create a place where every boller feels safe and at home. And we create that place together. Because if everyone is curious and willing to keep on learning, we can take new steps together, full of confidence. We achieve this by consistently improving every day, in true bol style.
This is how we make bol the employer where you can just be you.
Stronger together
Our mission? Continuously advance our platform for a better tomorrow for us all. And we do that together. Naturally, each person contributes from their own area of expertise and role, but together as a team, we strengthen and complement one another. By joining forces, we can discover, create and walk new paths. Because, as market leader, bol must continue to innovate. We do this not only with our colleagues but also with our partners and customers. Together we set the standard.
Because what’s new today will be normal for us tomorrow.
Daring to fail and keep pioneering
In order to set the standard, you dare to dream, dare to discover and keep experimenting and developing. But you must also dare to fail and understand that failure is actually learning. Because if you know what doesn’t work, you are one step closer to what will be successful.
In this process, colleagues and teams work very autonomously. That means a lot of freedom, within which you get responsibility and take initiative. In this way, you and your colleagues are responsible for the next success of bol, your team and your career.
At bol you get the space to discover new things. Do you have a good idea or do you see something that could be improved? Get to work on it. And you certainly don’t have to do this alone. Bollers are always ready to help each other to take good plans further and to help colleagues in their development. This is how we grow together. As people, as a team and as an organisation.
Every day we want to be a little better. Every day we want to get closer to our goal: “Truly be the store of us all”. We can only be that if we bring out the best in each other and keep the energy high. And we totally understand that you want something in return.
Our values
What binds us together every day is our culture and the way we work. It’s what makes bol, bol. A unique feeling that is almost impossible to explain and that you are best advised to come and experience for yourself. It is a mix of elements that we have tried to capture in our five values: inspired, together, trust, sincere and down-to-earth. A magic potion that makes us do things a little bit better every day.
1999
In 1999 bol saw the light. It was just an ordinary Thursday (or was it a Wednesday?) that the first online bookstore opened its virtual doors.
2003
We reached the cape of 50 colleagues. Each of them are proud bollers that know how to organize a football competition, how to throw a party and how to get things done, all at the same time.
2009
And then, all of a sudden, it was our ten year anniversary. We got a lot of appreciation for the hard work: we won the Thuiswinkel Awards and were chosen best webshop of the Netherlands. Time for the next big step: from online mediastore to online warehouse!
2014
We're going fast! We reached the amazing number of 5.000.000 customers.
2017
The festive opening of our own bol fulfilment center in Waalwijk by our CEO Huub Vermeulen.
2019
Hooray! 10 million people in the Netherlands and Belgium are shopping at bol.
2021
After 22 years, our CEO Huub Vermeulen has decided to leave the company. Margaret Versteden , Chief Platform Officer, has been proposed as his successor.
2023
Making more sustainable choices is not always easy. But we did it: we are B Corp certified! A certification to be proud of and a step in the right direction. And certainly not the last.
The will to improve is in the nature of bol
We are at the heart of society and feel responsible for making a positive contribution. Our mission: more sustainable shopping at bol. Together we are working on the store of tomorrow.
