Cooperation with Göteborgs Stadsmission 2024 for a more sustainable society

SweMaint is part of society at large and with the corporate role comes a responsibility to be a positive force in the world around us. We therefore engage in a number of different initiatives aimed at supporting and contributing to a more sustainable and inclusive society. The latest in the series of such initiatives, and particularly important since SweMaint is based in Gothenburg, is the collaboration with Göteborgs Stadsmission 2023/2024.

Gothenburg shares the sad record of many other Swedish societies, with many families with children living in poverty – we must change this. Supporting the Gothenburg City Mission's work in both its acute and long-term efforts to help families on the margins enjoy a better quality of life is as urgent as it is obvious to us at SweMaint. This is how we create change together.

On the website stadsmissionen.org you will find in-depth information. In our sustainability report at swemaint.com/se/hallbarhet we tell you more about climate improvement – in all respects.
