We are proud to support Solvatten, a Swedish solution to provide people living in developing countries with safe and hot water in a portable, environmentally friendly way. Solvatten is a combined portable water treatment and water heating system that has been designed for off-grid household use in the developing world.
Solvatten has an average lifespan of 7-10 years, essential during the first years of life when children are most susceptible to waterborne diseases.
We chose Solvatten to compensate for our CO2 emissions for Fiscal Year 20/21. Additional support was added from Q1 of Fiscal Year 21/22: every time a new employee joins Embracer Group, we pledge that Solvatten ensures that one more person accesses safe and hot water through their innovative solution.
