Engagement
Four partnerships that Elanders is involved in on a Group level.
WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award – Elanders is one of twelve organizations that contribute to the prize sum of one million Swedish kronor for the WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award. A youth award, the WIN WIN Youth Award, was also established in 2018. The awards will highlight pioneering efforts on alternate themes for a more sustainable world.
The theme for 2024 was “Inclusive Transition”. The winner of the main award was The Just Transition Centre (JTC) which is an international center for cooperation and knowledge sharing founded by the global trade union ITUC. The youth award went to Natur og Ungdom, a Norwegian youth organization promoting, and encouraging commitment to, environmental and climate issues.
Pratham Sweden – Together with around ten other large Swedish companies, Elanders is in partnership with the Indian educational organization Pratham Education Foundation. Pratham works to improve the quality of education in India through targeted programs that take into consideration the gaps in the Indian educational system. Its methods have been developed together with award-winning scientists.
During 2024, the partner project has reached nearly 33,000 (30,000) children in 345 villages across the northeastern states of Assam and Maharashtra.
Universeum – Elanders is in partnership with Universeum, Sweden’s national science center and a powerful arena for academics and popular education in science, technology and sustainable development.
Universeum is one of the six most visited attractions in Sweden, with 550,000 visitors annually.
nattvandring.nu – Elanders AB is a partner of nattvandring.nu, an organization that mobilizes, organizes, and trains local night patrol groups around Sweden and supports municipalities that invest in night patrols. The partnership means that Elanders AB provides financial support to nattvandring.nu, as well as other measures such as having Elanders employees participate in night patrols themselves.
In addition to partnerships on a Group level, all Elanders’ subsidiaries are in different ways engaged in local initiatives for greater social sustainability. Every year Elanders’ subsidiaries also support a number of humanitarian programs and donate to charitable organizations.
