The SFF Group recently made two sizeable donations to the foundation Sykehusklovnene (Clown Care). The first donation of 100.000 NOK was handed over to the foundation at Stavanger University Hospital (SUS). A second donation of 75.000 NOK was given in Bergen at Haukeland University Hospital.

The foundation Sykehusklovnene works exclusively with hospitalized children in Norway, bringing laughter, play and joy to the 20 hospitals they visit around the country. All the clowns working for the foundation are professional performing artists that have specialized in meeting children to provide them with a break in their daily life at the hospital.

The SFF Group is proud to support this fantastic initiative and hope that the contribution will aid their cause and mission and bring some joy and laughter into the everyday life of children at Norwegian hospitals.

The SFF Group recently signed a sponsorship agreement with the Norwegian Ice Hockey Association (in Norwegian, Norges Ishockeyforbund (NIHF)), strengthening the company’s support of Norwegian ice hockey.

The cooperation began already last fall, when SFF became a sponsor of the national junior ice hockey team. According to SFF’s CEO, Tore Christiansen, the feedback was overwhelming:

– We were profiled on the national junior ice hockey team’s jerseys during the world championship in Gothenburg and received surprisingly good response. We conduct business in many countries where ice hockey has a much larger reach than in Norway, so we received a considerable portion of encouraging feedback from our international business partners.

Christiansen explains that the positive attention made the SFF Group want to enter into a new agreement with NIHF – this time supporting the men’s senior national ice hockey team.

Jan Thore Torstensen, NIHF’s manager of sponsorships, is excited about the agreement, and looks forward to continuing the work with SFF.

– We are thrilled to secure this agreement with SFF, and eagerly look forward to extending our collaboration.

It is with great pride that we today announce that the SFF Group has been accredited with an ISO 14001 Certification. This achievement demonstrates the company’s commitment to environmental management and sustainable business practices.

The ISO 14001 is an internationally agreed upon standard that lays out the requirements for an environmental management system, thus aiding the organization in improving its environmental performance through – among other things – reduction of waste and emissions.

Excerpt from www.iso.org:

An environmental management system helps organizations identify, manage, monitor and control their environmental issues in a “holistic” manner.

[…]

It requires that an organization considers all environmental issues relevant to its operations, such as air pollution, water and sewage issues, waste management, soil contamination, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and resource use and efficiency.

Managing Director, Boye O. Christiansen, states that he is proud of the company’s achievement, and remarks that although working on ESG-related issues is not new to the SFF Group, it has been brought to a new level in recent years. He also states that the company made significant advancements while preparing for the ISO 140001 certification.

– We are of course very proud of this achievement and look forward to continually improving our organization’s work on environmental concerns. By raising awareness and implementing environmentally responsible practices, we continue our journey towards a more sustainable future.

The ISO Certification process was conducted by the third-party organization DNV. The certification is valid for all SFF Group companies.
