At EnterCard we are conscious of how we impact society as an employer, lender, business partner and stakeholder. We have ambitious goals both as a company and for each individual employee when it comes to how we impact the world around us. To monitor and communicate this, EnterCard reports on sustainability in an annual sustainability report.
In the end of January, Entercard met young entrepreneurs at the Youth Entrepreneurship (Ungt Entreprenørskap) Local Championships. Four Entercard employees were in the juries, and the students competed for prizes such as the Sustainability Award, Best Sales Team and Best HR. This is part of Entercard’s work with citizenship where we seek to support young talents by using our competence.
On Friday November 30th, the final of Ungt Entreprenørskaps Gründeridol for for youth companies in Akershus was arranged. Carl Michelet, Thanh Fleischer, Fawad Hussain and Anne-Line Aaslund from Entercard contributed as mentors. The ideas was flowering, so this was fun and educational both for the students and representatives from the business world.
Entercard is a finance company who wish to take responsibility, individually and collectively. Our colleagues are encouraged not only to focus on income for the company, but also to use their knowledge to help others. We have spoken with two of the facilitators of Entercard's CSR work, Marita Nordli, Consultant and Melita Ringvold, Head of Corporate Communications and Citizenship.
Entercard, engage in citizenship projects by using our strengths to support others. Through Entercard's collaboration with Blue Cross in Oslo some of our employees have volunteered as “tidgivere” in a project called “Steg for steg”. We have talked with Dag Bjanes, Department Manager for Card Operations, about his experiences as “tidgiver”.
Last Tuesday at the Stockholm office, Entercard were welcoming their partners Fryshuset and My Dream Now for a citizenship info session. Jennifer Ericsson from My Dream Now and Fatima Åsgard from Fryshuset, founder of the project ”Children to single mothers” had inspiring presentations about their projects for young people and talked about how Entercard’s employees can contribute.
- From responsible lending to social initiative helping youth. For Entercard, as a credit card company, it is essential that we are responsible. This contributes to our success. Strong and healthy values attract both partners and new talent, says Chief Development Officer, Carina Björkefors.
