CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility)

For us at Synerity, CSR and Sustainability is about letting business go hand in hand with increased responsibility for people, the environment and society. We should take responsibility for how we affect our surroundings, from an economic, environmental and social perspective.

The three dimensions of sustainability:

  • Environmental sustainability means that the production of goods and services must not compromise natural ecosystems, that nature must have time to replenish the resources it extracts.

  • Social sustainability is fundamentally about corporate social responsibility, striving for a society where basic human rights are fulfilled. One example of this is ensuring that good working conditions exist.

  • Economic sustainability means that the company's activities and development do not have a negative impact on environmental or social
    sustainability. It is also about ensuring that the business makes a profit in the long term in order to survive.

    You can read more about our positions on the different dimensions of sustainability in our Sustainability Policy.

Sponsorship and community involvement
At Synerity we are also keen to support local associations and humanitarian aid activities. Our sponsorship is a key part of our community involvement and focuses primarily on partnerships with organisations working with children and young people. Associations create a context where both children and adults can develop and feel good, while society is promoted by healthy people. Below you can read more about the organisations and associations we have chosen to support financially.

 

  • SOS Children's Villages - Ukraine

    Synerity is a monthly donor and corporate sponsor of two children's villages in the war-torn Brovary and Luhansk regions of Ukraine. The sponsorship is used for expenses such as clothing, schooling, family support programmes and medical care, as well as salaries for the children's village parents, doctors and psychologists. Part of the sponsorship is also used where it is most needed in SOS Children's Villages' other international activities. As a sponsor, we want to help children grow up to be their strongest selves. That they can have a safe upbringing and in turn contribute to a better society. In this way, we want to help make a difference in the long term. SOS Children's Villages has been active in Ukraine since the 1990s, supporting children and families in vulnerable situations. The organisation also supports young adults living in vulnerable situations in Sweden with programmes in Gothenburg and Stockholm.

  • The Prosit Network

    The Helsingborg-based Prosit network aims to make a difference for vulnerable children and young people in northwestern Skåne. Prosit cooperates with some 40 mediators who meet children and young people in vulnerable situations and their families in their work. The mediators include social workers, deacons and counsellors. In addition, many private individuals and companies contribute money and items to families in need. The most common needs are clothes for children, equipment for newborns, items for the kitchen and home, furniture, bicycles and financial support for children's leisure activities. We at Synerity have chosen to sponsor Prosit's annual "Food on the Christmas Table" campaign. For every Christmas since 2013, the association has collected money that has been converted into food bags for needy families in north-western Skåne.

  • Ella's Heroes

    The fundraising foundation Ella's Heroes is based in Mörarp outside Helsingborg and was founded in 2016. The vision is to give vulnerable children an easier everyday life with the tools they need, but also to give them good memories that will get them through tough times. Those who receive support from the foundation may be families affected by illness, bullying or other traumas. It also helps children who live with a sibling who has been affected. These children often have to take a back seat as it takes a lot of time to care for the other sibling. Dream days, idol meetings, activities, etc. - the list can be long. Ella's Heroes listens to everyone's dreams and wants to make each child's special day unforgettable. We are super excited about our partnership with Ella's Heroes.
