STENA FASTIGHETER GEARS UP
WORK WITH SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY
HIRING MORE STAFF – EXPANDING AND DEEPENING COLLABORATIVE INITIATIVES
At a time when both individuals and companies are affected by inflation, energy prices, organized crime and a troubled world, Stena Fastigheter is strengthening its work with social sustainability. With targeted initiatives focusing on education for children and youths, vacation jobs and meaningful extracurricular activities, opportunities are being broadened for students successfully completing their studies and getting that all-important first line on resumes.
“By hiring more relationship managers, we’re strengthening our strategic work with social sustainability, while creating practical opportunities for new and more activities that reach even more young people,” says Cecilia Fasth, CEO of Stena Fastigheter.
“Additionally, we can deepen the valuable collaborative activities we already have to contribute to positive development in the neighborhoods.”
Stena Fastigheter has been working with social sustainability for over 20 years through its relationship management approach. Social sustainability work is based on the UN’s global sustainability goals and has been broken down into four focus areas: security, work, school and leisure. In concrete terms, this can involve everything from improving the physical living environment to creating enjoy-able or developing activities in the neighborhoods, as well as work to strengthen young people’s opportunities in the labor market.
FORGING NEW AND STRONG TIES WITH OTHER ENTITIES
“When we invest in a neighborhood, it makes a difference, as for example in Tynnered in Gothenburg where ten years of work has contributed to the area no longer being classified as particularly vulnerable by the police,” says Cecilia Fasth. “Through our relationship management, we’re contributing to positive development both for the people living in our apartments and for the city as a whole.”
