For the third consecutive year, Kungsleden can demonstrate a stronger organisation with healthier people and a positive working climate. Strong drive and enjoyment at work were special features.

Enjoyment at work is central for motivation and results.” Kungsleden AB (publ) discloses the information in this press release according to the Swedish Securities Markets Act and/or the Swedish Financial Trading Act.
