A sustainable innovation
Solvatten is an innovative and sustainable solution that cleans water through solar heating. This
improves health, empowers women and lowers
greenhouse emissions. As suppliers of Nores,
Vingruppen has over the years supported Solvatten
in countries where the lack of clean water causes
serious socio-economic and environmental problems.
Solar water is sent to areas where the majority of the
population retrieves their water in sources that risk
causing waterborne diseases, such as cholera and
typhoid.
Last year, our support went to schools in Burkina
Faso, and through this year’s donation with Nores
we reach some of the most vulnerable families in
Uganda.
Investments in clean energy
Climate compensation projects, such as Solvatten,
will likely be necessary in order to achieve the UN
Sustainable Development Goals and Sweden’s 2045
climate goal. We need investments in clean energy
and sustainable solutions to reach a low-carbon
economy.
