Wellspect News & Events

Samhall is a government-funded organization that trains and matches people with disabilities to the right job. This is a sustainable business concept, and one that has seen Samhall named the most sustainable company in Europe. Samhall is working with companies that share their values on diversity in the labor market. For more than 20 years, Wellspect has enjoyed a collaboration with Samhall, with nearly 200 Samhall employees working at Wellspect’s production site in Mölndal, Sweden.

Wellspect has made a commitment to sustainability - but sustainability does not only refer to the critical initiatives we take at our production sites to minimize environmental impact. It also applies to the working conditions of our employees, the standards we demand of our partners, and the quality of life of our users. We spoke to Lucia in Italy about how these products have made a real difference to her quality of life.

For most of us, 2020 was a truly challenging year, for some of us more than others. We support people suffering from continence issues - our users are dependent upon our essential products, everyday. As well as dealing with the pandemic, they also have obstacles to navigate every day, year in, year out. For them, our products are vital for quality of life. Our goal is to make a real difference, every single day. With the help of our products, our users enjoy a more free, more independent life.

The balance between quality and the environment is very important, not least for those who use our products everyday. We spoke to Håkan Strandberg, Vice President of Sales for Northern Europe, about the measures and initiatives Wellspect are taking to continuously improve our commitment to sustainability.

During recent years, Wellspect has implemented several significant measures at their HQ in Mölndal, in order to reduce their energy consumption. In this interview, Magnus Hjalber, Senior Manager for Facilities Management, explains more.
