Corporate Community Engagement

Sundström's community engagement goes beyond simply protecting people with our products.

Our corporate community engagement

Safeguarding people’s lives and health has always been the main driving force behind our business. Therefore, there is a clear, natural link between the company’s sustainability activities and active community engagement.

Sponsorship and support for charities

Our social engagement includes sponsorship in the form of products, financial support and measures to improve knowledge on a local, regional, national and international level. Currently, our sponsorship goes mainly to Swedish organisations in areas such as sport, culture, research and education. The organisations that we sponsor must have a clear set of values and a strong focus on social engagement.

We always ensure that the organisation’s values are consistent with our own. Smaller organisations have not always defined their values and, in this case, it is important for us to take the time to talk to them and make the company’s expectations clear.

”We are a company that helps society
to develop in a sustainable and positive way.”

Schools and scholarships

As one way of attracting the employees of the future and increasing interest in the technology industry, we sponsor several schools. Our sponsorship takes the form of funding, work experience schemes and awareness-raising activities. Every year we award scholarships to students graduating from the Science programme and the Technology programme at Sunnerbogymnasiet, a secondary school in Ljungby in Sweden.

Formula Student

Sundström sponsors the Chalmers Formula Student team. Formula Student (FS) is an educational motorsport competition that gives engineering students the opportunity to design and build a formula racing car and compete against other student teams from the rest of the world in FS races.

Mustaschkampen

Every year we participate in the Mustaschkampen, a nationwide campaign to highlight prostate cancer in Sweden. We donate SEK 500 per participant to the Swedish Prostate Cancer Foundation. We also donate equivalent amounts to the Swedish Breast Cancer Association.

 

Keep Breathing

Taking part in sport has a positive effect on people’s physical and mental health.
This is why it is natural for us to sponsor a variety of Swedish sports organisations and associations.
We have partners in skiing, athletics, football and ice hockey.

EPOS

The goal of the EPOS project (Equality memory of Per Sundström) is to increase the number of female coaches at elite level, but also to encourage more female junior coaches to continue their leadership role at senior level. The purpose of the network is to provide inspiration, increase skill levels and offer opportunities for sharing experiences.
