Our take on community engagement

Community involvement connected to our vision - Our aspiration to be involved in society affects many parts of the business, and constructive social involvement is an important part of our culture.

Disabled Children and Adolescents

Children and young people with reduced mobility are one of the groups in society that have the most difficulty in living an active life. This is a group that we cherish very much in our initiatives and projects in local communities.

Taking care of the natural environment

We also have a very big heart concerning the nature that surrounds us. We enjoy exploring it with family and friends, and many of those who use our products do the same. We are involved in various initiatives to reduce wear and tear on nature and through, among other things, research with universities to understand how to best protect it.

A strong commitment to these issues can be found both at the Group and local levels, and directly connected with our facilities and sales offices. From a Thule brand perspective, we also cooperate internationally with the committed athletes of our Thule Crew in various projects around the world under the umbrella name Thule Pathos.

You can find several examples of our involvement in the local community here on our corporate website

Corporate Partnership with RBU

Since 2010, Thule Group has been the main sponsor of RBU, Sweden’s National Association for Disabled Children and Adolescents. The sponsorship means that, as part of its core activity, RBU can focus on facilitating disabled young people to engage in sports and a more active life.

Another part of our cooperation with RBU is to arrange recurring ‘Family days’ where the ambition is to organize fantastic days with lots of laughter, fun and entertainment for as many of the organizations families as possible.The latest event took place at Sweden largest amusement park Liseberg, Gothenburg.

Taking care of the natural environment

We have a very big heart concerning the nature that surrounds us. One way for us to give back to nature is to get involved in the care and maintenance of nature areas, biking- and hiking trails, beaches, etc. Another way is to get involved in, and sometimes act as an expert, in research bodies connected to universities to understand how to minimize the wear and tear on nature in the best and most efficient way.

One of those collaborations is with Mistra Sports & Outdoor

We also carry out a number of activities around the world where our employees clean, repair and maintain hiking trails, bike paths, etc. These activities are often done close to one of our production sites to make it easier to involve and engage as many employees as possible.
