Benders has always worked closely with and supported small-scale associations and activities in the places where the company has operations. Besides such local commitments, Benders is also actively committed to a number of large organisations that run initiatives in Sweden and abroad. Children and young people are the most frequent targets of these initiatives.
Star for Life
Star for Life is a non-profit organisation that works with schoolchildren in southern Africa. Via a unique educational programme, Star for Life’s coaches strengthen pupils’ self-esteem. They also motivate pupils to commit to education and to make wise life decisions. Star for Life’s work promotes several of the global goals in Agenda 2030, e.g. good health and wellbeing, gender equality and quality education. Benders has been a school sponsor in KwaZulu-Natal since 2011. Groups of Benders’ personnel regularly visit the school and the area.
Barncancerfonden
This charity works with the financing of research to fight childhood cancer and contributes to care and support for those affected by cancer. Benders supports the fund financially by being a Child Supporter. In the form of collections on selected occasions, there is also wide commitment amongst Benders’ personnel.
Local commitment
In the places where the company has operations, Benders supports local activities. These are often in sport, but schools, culture and enterprise are also covered. Amongst other things, Benders participates in Skaraborgs Invest, an investment company that is active in Skövde’s Science Park and creates the right conditions for new enterprise and jobs in Skaraborg.
