Decent work and economic growth
Sustainability goals:
We offer job training for people with gaps in their CV
We offer job training for people with gaps in their CV and no access to the ordinary labour market, including through cooperation with the Church City Mission charity. We now plan to offer microloans and knowledge transfer for people in developing countries. This will enable more people to set up their own small business, just like Johannes Vestre did in 1947. Vestre was the first furniture manufacturer to join IEH - Ethical Trading Initiative Norway, and we have strict requirements for all our suppliers regarding human rights, labour rights and sustainable development.
Farm for the Future
Food scarcity and unemployment often go hand in hand. That’s why Vestre is proud to be an investor in the FFF initiative, which aims to tackle both of those.
Goal:
Investment of NOK 185,000 towards a
silo that will help store yield to ensure
better prices
