Erik Thun Group is part of both the global initiative Orange Day as well as the local initiative Enough is Enough, aiming to eliminate (domestic) violence against women and children. On November 22, Petra Karlsson from our local women’s shelter Kvinnojouren

Linnéan, visited us and gave our office staff the harsh facts on violence against women.

In recognition of our dedicated effort to be a sustainable Swedish partner over generations, Erik Thun Group was appointed an award for sustainable development from the Municipality of Lidköping at the end of last year. Early on, we decided to pay it forward to emphasis that sustainability is important also in our daily relationships, and to acknowledge that human rights are never to be taken for granted.

We need to act on a daily basis to change unjust norms, behaviors and beliefs and to create equal opportunities for all of us. We chose to invite our local women’s shelter Kvinnojouren Linnéan to learn more about the current situation and to discuss solutions and challenges. When increasing our knowledge, we believe we will be better fit to speak up on behalf of those who cannot, and work towards a world free from violence.

Equality, diversity and inclusiveness are big parts of Erik Thun’s sustainability work, it has been and will continue to be a focus and commitment for us. By contributing to the work of our local women’s shelter in providing help to women and children in need, we also want to raise awareness in our community, says Henrik & Johan Källsson at Erik Thun when handing over the gift of 20 000 SEK to

Petra Karlsson, manager at Kvinnojouren Linnéan in Lidköping, Sweden.
