MonthlyCup AB

A menstrual cup is a very delicate sanitary protection for women. A single cup is reused for 5 years and replaces thousands of sanitary napkins / tampons. It gives women better health, finances, and makes a big difference to the environment. Not to mention the enormous freedom a menstrual cup gives you for 12 hours in comparison to a tampon that can sit for 5 hours. A very important part of our work is to help girls in developing countries stay in school. Many people do not know that girls are forced to stay at home because of the lack of safe menstrual protection around the world, and our work in that area is extremely important. So far, we have ensured that over 10,000 girls do not stay at home because of something as natural as menses. We strive to do good and at the same time do good business. For quality and product safety reasons we have our manufacturing in Sweden, which gives us excellent control of the whole process, and still have a good profit margin.

Plastic Change

Plastic Change en dansk miljøorganisation med et ambitiøst internationalt sigte Vi arbejder hårdt med at knække den stigende kurve over plastikspild. Plastik er overalt – på land og til vands. Tre generationers forbrug af plastik har sat sine spor. Kun en lille del bliver genbrugt eller destrueret. Resten ligger i naturen i hundredvis af år. Vi arbejder for at reducere vores enorme plastikproduktion ved blandt andet at eliminere unødvendig engangsplastik fra vores produkter, ved at sætte bedre rammer for hvordan vi designer produkter til mere genbrug, og det plastik vi ikke kan genbruge, skal vi kunne genanvende. Vi arbejder både på politisk niveau, sammen med befolkningen, i samarbejde med innovationspartnere, på internationalt niveau, sammen med forskere og med at uddanne vores fremtidige generationer om problemet. Plastic Change består af et fast dedikeret team og en række uundværlige frivillige kræfter. Alle yder en stor, uvurderlig og professionel indsats for, at organisationen kan gennemføre sine ambitioner om at knække kurven for plastikproduktion og hermed plastikforurening.

Africa Reframed

Online marketplace for African imagery - Powered by online learning. Africa is rising and a visual reframing of the continent is emerging. A reframing crafted by African content creators, telling Africa's story of change. At Africa Reframed we connect a community of African photographers to the world’s leading companies and organizations to create and promote captivating imagery and bespoke projects that propel new storytelling from the African continent. Imagery in the Africa Reframed imagebank has been used by the worlds leading organizations such as: Gates Foundation, UN, Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Pfizer, Ernst & Young, Spotify, NBC, Yahoo, Sitecore, Exxon, Cambridge University Press, Hearst, Condé Nast, Lloyds bank, Europe- an Investment Bank, Shell, AOL, ABC, NEC, CNBC, KPMG, Discovery, VISA, Deloitte, Accenture, Ogilvy, UPS, Viacom, Pearson, Barclays, BBC, Axel Springer, British Council, M&C Saatchi, ASUS, Del Monte, Time inc., RTL, Virgin, McKinsey, Airtel, Guardian, Uber, Orange, 3M, HSBC, Samsung, The World Bank and many more. We are looking for investors sharing our vision of Africa Reframed as a value-driven, profitable business that strives to alter the global community’s perception of the African continent while also building sustainable job opportunities for photographers across Africa. Alongside its sister organization, Commerce & Culture, Africa Reframed has managed an array of long-term projects with leading contemporary visual artists globally and organized photo exhibitions with more than 100.000 paying visitors across 3 continents. Among these, the largest exhibition to date with African photography in northern Europe. SDGs: Quality education and decent work and economic growth, SDGs 4 and 8, are an integrated part of the Africa Reframed business model. When the United Nations In 2015 was launching the SDGs with Project Everyone, they did so with a campaign to share the global goals with 7 billion people in 7 days. This happened via global broadcasts, outdoor advertising campaigns, cinema ads, mobile partnerships, and more. Because of the above, Images from our program were among the officially chosen for the campaign and were singled out by the global campaign team as good education and economic growth in action. Misson: Most of the imagery we encounter from the African continent tends to either depict the beautiful scenery and wildlife or scenes of poverty, war, and desperation. While these indeed are bona fide aspects and challenges, Africa is also a continent characterized by immense growth, varied opportunities, and not least, change. The mission of Africa Reframed is to capture and contribute to the spurring of this change by a visual reframing of the continent. A reframing that reflects African enterprise, innovation, and everyday life. Africa Reframed exists to create and promote this new imagery in the belief that by changing the visuals, we can help change the conversation. Thus an inherent part of Africa Reframed’s DNA, which is also mirrored in the name of the company, is to be a catalyst for the way the world looks at the African continent. The wish to illustrate the real Africa and thus to spur optimism and hope around its future makes the company strongly value-driven, and it is believed that such a shared view will help bind contributors, clients, and other stakeholders close together. In 2020 Africa Reframed received an investment from Innovation fund Denmark and was selected as a finalist for the SDG Tech Award.

Inspired Beyond Babies

Inspired Beyond Babies er et barselsnetværk til mænd og kvinder, der gerne vil supplere babysvømning og rytmik med et fagligt indspark og få noget inspiration. Til månedlige foredrag i Storkøbenhavn og Jylland kan man høre kendte profiler fra erhvervslivet, inspirerende talere og specialister inden for forskellige fagområder. Temaerne kan være alt fra det moderne arbejdsliv til ledelsesudvikling og de seneste markedstrends. Barselsnetværket tilbydes som et personalegode til virksomheder for at skabe en mere inkluderende barselskultur, hvor mange godt kan føle sig ekskluderet fra deres arbejdsplads. Og at skabe et fællesskab i en periode, hvor mange føler sig isoleret og ensomme. Undersøgelser viser at op mod 29% skifter job i forbindelse med barsel, og at hele 56% går med overvejelserne. Inspired Beyond Babies giver mulighed for virksomhederne at investere i deres talenters fortsatte udvikling og at fastholde dem i den periode, hvor de er i størst risiko for at miste dem. På den måde bliver barsel ikke bare personligt udviklende, men også en professionel opkvalificering og løftestang for den enkelte. Vi tror på, at barslen er en kæmpe mulighed for både personlig og faglig udvikling, og at man kommer styrket tilbage til jobbet på grund af det.
