✨AINO - A conversational AI tool for victims of domestic violence✨ To support our mission towards equality, We Encourage builds a conversational Artificial Intelligence tool AINO for providing psycho-social support and guidance to women victims of intimate partner violence, gender-based violence, and promoting sexual and reproductive health. Violence against women – particularly intimate partner violence and sexual violence – is a major public health problem and a violation of women’s human rights. Global estimates published by WHO indicate that about 1 in 3 (35%) of women worldwide have experienced either physical and/or sexual intimate partner violence or non-partner sexual violence in their lifetime. The AI tool is expected to act as a reliable source of information for women on their rights and where to seek different levels of support. The tool will be providing step by step recommendations to victims and act as a helping friend. This intervention is expected to address a chronic development issue and to have a cross-cutting impact on SDG 3 (ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages) and SDG 5 ( Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls). Furthermore, the AI tool could also help in building a network for anonymous peer to peer support networks among users who are experiencing similar incidents. The tool is build in collaboration with violence survivors, professionals, and collaborating NGOs. ✨We Encourage CSR - YOUR PARTNER IN BUILDING THE BEST SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAM ✨ Half of a company’s reputation is based on the public’s feelings about what the company is doing to support the community.

Swapfiets started in the classic start-up way. A group of friends having a good idea and deciding to just try it out: For a fixed price a month you get a Swapfiets bicycle and we ensure your Swapfiets bicycle always works. It turned out to be a great concept. After a period of fixing up bikes ourselves, Swapfiets has now arrived at a point where it has designed its own bicycle and started spreading out the service to a growing number of cities. An epic service, made easy.

Fra fiber til ferdig vare.VARP & VEFT er en moderne ullvarebedrift tuftet på tradisjonsrikt håndverk og nøye utvalgte materialer. Vi kjøper råull fra dyktige sauebønder og jobber tett på råvaren fra valg av fiber til ferdig produkt.Norge har 12 nasjonale saueraser, 6 av dem er truet og flere regnes som sårbare. Mangfoldet disse rasene utgjør gir seg utslag i ulike ullkvaliteter. Dette er et mangfold som hittil har vært lite utnyttet. Industrien krever ensartet og hvit ull i store kvanta, mens gamle raser gjerne har todelt fell med bunnull og dekkhår i ulike lengder og i naturlige fargenyanser. Tilgangen på ull fra bevaringsverdige saueraser er begrenset. VARP & VEFT er en norsk tekstilbedrift, etablert i 2013. Vi tilvirker ulltekstiler basert på spesialplukket ull fra gamle norske og bevaringsverdige saueraser. Tekstilene designes og tilvirkes i Norge ved bruk av tradisjonelt håndverk og moderne produksjonsteknikker under merkevarenavnet Norway Cloth™. Vår første kolleksjon, denne basert på Grå Trøndersau, lanseres på utstillingen 100% Norway under London Design Festival 19-27 september 2015.Som første naturfiber i verden er norsk ull er miljøsertifisert med Svanemerket og er dermed dokumentert en av verdens mest miljøvennlige tekstilfibre. Dette er en "cradle to cradle" sertifisering som setter norsk ull i særstilling internasjonalt, i tillegg til egenskaper som overlegen glans, spenst og slitestyrke. Ullfiberen isolerer og genererer varme når den blir våt. Den er antibakteriell, vann- og flekkavvisende, regulerer luftfuktigheten og bidrar til et sunt inneklima. I motsetning til bomull og syntetfibre er ull naturlig flammehemmende uten tilsetning av kjemikalier.Det er stor samfunnsøkonomisk verdi i å bevare våre gamle raser sett ift mangfold i landbruket og styrking av norsk tekstilindustri. Per i dag blir mye god ull hevet sammen med den dårlige og oppnår derfor lave priser når den så selges på det globale råvaremarkedet.
