Three partnerships that Elanders is involved in on a Group level
WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award
Elanders is one of thirteen organizations that contribute to the prize sum of one million Swedish kronor for the WIN WIN Gothenburg Sustainability Award. In 2018, the WIN WIN Youth Award was instituted. The awards spotlight groundbreaking work on annual and alternating themes for a more sustainable world.
The theme for 2023 was “Fighting Disinformation”. The winner of the main award was the investigative network Bellingcat and its founder Elliot Higgins. The youth award was given to Abbie Richards, disinformation researcher and influencer.
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 2023, the partnership project reached an estimated 30,000 (28,000) children in 330 villages in the northeast states of Assam and West Bengal.
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.
During 2023, the collaboration more specifically resulted in a project to increase children and youths’ understanding about the negative environmental impact of cell phones and a project aimed at getting more young girls interested in coding and IT.
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.
