The powerpose for diversity! We do it! Every year, as a part of the weekly celebration of Oslo Pride, The Oslo Pride Business Forum gathers top leaders, academics and minorities to discuss how to create a more diverse and inclusive work environement. Listening to politicians, former UN spokespersons, advisors, strategy directors and not to mention the pride community, is not only a mindopener but also key for learning. How can we create better work aspects for all our employes? What can we do to improve our common culture? The perspectives on minorities, understanding of social mechanisms and the importance of organizations being large and inclusive. Listening to all the stories being shared on stage, it is obvious that inclusion is not only about the structured approach but also about implementing the small things to show you care. Having the back of your colleauge. Showing support. The impact of inclusion can never be under-estimated. Diversity, Inclusion and Equality is important but not only on inclusion weeks: Its important every single day. June is the international month for Pride celebrations, but diversity need to be celebrated everyday. Thats is also why we did the powerpose. It actually came quite natural for Head of sustainability Line Berg Dørum and The Oslo Pride Business Forum presenter Brita Møystad Engseth (a well known TV- and radiopresenter) Thanks for the inspiration: Kimiya Sajjadi, Kjetil Smette, Mathias Holst, Chisom Udeze and Adrian Prent. 💚 💙 💛 🧡 💜 💓

Producing more than 800 million toothpicks a year, the factory has an amazing value chain starting by timber and carpentry workshops. Visiting the factory is actuallt a unique experience with buildings facing the river and a green landscape with forests and farmland. The factory unit has been a part of Jordan Oral Care for decades and many employees have had their daily work here for more than 40 years, building a superadapted factory with tailormade machines for production. Every little detail is planned for and the production process relies on quality in every step. The woodwork for the toothpicks is carefully chosen to ensure the right quality. The factory only use birch trees, as birch has no smell or flavor – it even has the unique asset of being antiseptic! As the timber arrives its being stored to dry in weeks before being cut. Cutting follows a detailed process using up-to-date technology to separate natures malware. Factory Manager Elisabeth Normann deserves big thanks for sharing insight in what is to be describes as a beautiful factory. The millions of toothpicks are being sent to all over the world.

On United Nations World Environment Day, we pay tribute to Hold Norge Rents initiative to clean our shores, and follow their encouragement to cleaning along rivers, lakes, beaches, islets, islands, paths, and in urban spaces - preferably near where you live. The earth's resources are under pressure and we share the dedication for clean marine areas. We can all contribute to ensure cleaner waters, and in Orkla Health we are proud of the annual event to clean our local beaches. Every single year since 2019, we have contributed by cleaning up plastic that washes ashore in the Oslo area. The annual Beach Clean Week, organized by Hold Norge Rent, is in fact one of the largest voluntarily national events in Norway. The week, each year being held in September, gathers families with children, groups of friends, students, farmers' associations, the fishing industry, outdoor councils, municipalities, waste companies, and many, many more contribute to a clean and beautiful nature.   We contribute by taking time off from the office to pick up trash, especially plastic, on the beaches near to us. However, reducing the amount of new plastic on the market is maybe even more important and part of our responsibilities as producers. We work to reduce plastic in our products and our packaging, and to the greatest extent possible use recycled material, as well as designing for recyclability.  #UNWorldDays #GenerationRestoration

Today is certainly historic. After five years of planning, Vesterålen Marine Oil, could finally inaugurate  their new factory in Northern Norway and the harbour of Myre. The new plant is becoming the most modern production facility in the World for omega 3, with new technology, a more sustainable utilization and increased production volume. The factory has the capacity to receive larger quantities of raw material, and the new technology will  significantly increases the utilization rate of the raw material used in fish oil production. A groundbreaking technology allows for better usage of proteins and will contribute to prevent raw material previously used as animal feed to become a renewed value as high-quality protein. We are honoured that Norwegian Secretary of State, Kristina Hansson (AP) from the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries did the official opening. We have high expectations for this facility, which will  be the main facility for Möller's Tran. Norwegian raw materials are in high demand beyond Norway's borders, and with investments like these, we ensure a strong value chain and more robust business operations. And of course, our honored guests were happy to celebrate with a spoonfull of Môller’s Tran (today already a major export product and is sold in more than 30 markets worldwide). Thanks to Nofima, UNIVERSITETET I TROMSØ - NORGES ARKTISKE UNIVERSITET and Innovasjon Norge for support and collaboration. #technology #codliveroil #spoonfulloflife #møllers
