Corporate Social Responsibility Partnerships
As part of our Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Programme, we partner with organizations on our CSR focus areas including climate change mitigation and adaptation, water, biodiversity, equality and education.
Save the Children
Ensuring children have a safe and balanced start to life is the key objective of our partnership with Save the Children. Building on Fortum’s earlier collaboration with Save the Children in various locations, the current partnership strengthens our efforts to support Save the Children’s work more widely and longer term.
In Finland, we are supporting a programme that provides support to children and families facing challenges, by helping Save the Children fund study materials, distribute food vouchers, and arrange leisure activities. In Sweden and Norway, we are supporting initiatives ensuring that children in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas have access to meaningful leisure activities. In Poland, our support is directed at education possibilities so that Ukrainian refugee children can continue learning despite the continued war.
Städa Sverige
Fortum and Städa Sverige arrange an annual river cleanup day called Älvstädningen with local youth sports teams along the rivers where Fortum operates 111 hydropower plants in Sweden. The sports clubs gain funding for their operations as they are compensated for their efforts and Sweden’s rivers are cleaner as a result. In the twelve years of Älvstädningen, we have collected over 300 tons of waste.
Maskrosbarn
Fortum supports Maskrosbarn in Sweden to help children from disadvantaged backgrounds in their adolescence to help shape their own future. Maskrosbarn supports young people aged 13-19 by organizing, for example, camps, support talks, youth centers and chat support. They also carry out advocacy work, lectures and trainings for professionals.
