About Greencarrier
Greencarrier Spirit Fund
We have a proud history of taking a social responsibility in our local communities
Through our CSR fund, Greencarrier Spirit Fund, we have a proud history of taking a social responsibility in our local communities. Every year, we allocate 1% of the Group’s profit to various CSR related projects. Our colleagues are then able to apply to the fund with a project, or an organisation, that they think could use the help of Greencarrier. This allows us to have committed employees, as well as have a broad spread on our CSR projects. We also allocate parts of the funds for partnerships, as we strive to work with long-term commitments.
Our key partners
In the Greencarrier Spirit Fund, we also strive for our social responsibility to be long-term. That is why we have entered partnerships with organisations the excel in social sustainability. Through Räddningmissionen, Solvatten and Mercy Ships, we cover a broad range of social issues that all must be addressed. Healthcare and access to surgery, homelessness and social exclusion, access to safe and clean water are all covered by our incredible partners in the Spirit Fund. With our key partners, we do not only have a broad reach, but we also have to possibility for personal commitment for our colleagues.
Key partner
Mercy Ships
The international organisation, Mercy Ships provide surgery and healthcare to people who live in countries where access to these basic functions is scarce. Onboard their two hospital ships they are able to give state-of-the-art surgery to people who live in our World’s most under-developed countries. Their important work relies on the efforts of volunteers—something we happily support.
Key partner
Räddningsmissionen
Räddningsmissionen, The Rescue Mission translated, is a non-profit, social work organisation with Christian values based in Gothenburg, Sweden. Since 1952 they have been working with people in different vulnerable life situations. They offer both immediate and long-term solutions to create change for the people they meet. The work they do is widespread and consists of a lot of different projects spread out across the city.
Key partner
Solvatten
Solvatten is a social enterprise based in Sweden, and we have one mission: to provide people living in developing countries with safe and hot water in a portable, environmentally friendly way. Solvatten does this through their ingenious inventions that is a portable water canister that harvest the UV-light from the sun to purify the water to be safe to consume. Not only does a Solvatten unit help with access to safe water, but the social benefits are multifold; less emissions, more hours to education, less sick days just to name a few.
