Solar Family
This is how we take care of our own. This is where you see that 'stronger together' is more than just a payoff. It is a feeling. It is our culture.
In Solar, we have a grant programme named Solar Family, which was initiated by the founding family of Solar. Descendants of our founder Jacob L. Jørgensen make up the board of The Fund of 20th December, who is behind the initiative.
The programme provides financial aid to employees, who find themselves in a life crisis. This could be unforeseen accidents in life such as death, critical illness or accidents followed by serious consequences for the employee or someone in their immediate family. Our very own safety net.
We take care of Solar and Solar takes care of us.
Our partners
Being a responsible business is at the very core of who we are. It defines the essence of our DNA and it infuses how we think and act. We collaborate with recognized international organisations to secure good business ethics in our value chain.
