SUSTAINABILITY

Our world - our responsibility

We are commited to developing and producing sustainable solutions for the inhabitants of our shelters, for the local societies, as well as for the environment.

The production of our shelters does not contribute to the drainage of scarce natural resources such as deforestation, and we use recyclable and reusable materials.

Our shelters can be upgraded to more permanent solutions or be reused for permanent insulation in new or existing buildings. The durability and liveability of our shelters provide the basis for self-sustainability and the opportunity for families to live a more dignified existence.

In our effort to advance the Sustainable Development Goals we support the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, enviroment and anti-corruption.

Throughout our value chain we strive to combine bottom line profits, sustainable enviroment practices and positive societal impact.

Reusable for increased sustainability

When Lifeshelter is no longer needed, it can be disassembled, and the panels can be straightened and reused for energy-upgrading regular buildings.

Lifeshelter can be disassembled, and the panels can be reused as insulation for regular buildings.

SUSTAINABILITY

By using Lifeshelter we can avoid deforestation.

Avoiding deforestation

Using Lifeshelter eliminates the need for wood trusses and rafters, thereby avoiding deforestation.

Increasing life span

Living standards and life span can be increased by placing the Lifeshelter on a raised foundation.

Lifeshelter has an increased life span compared to traditional temporary housing.

By using Lifeshelter we can reduce the amount of waste created.

Reducing waste

Replacing tents with Lifeshelters will save tons of plastic waste anually.

Saving money

Compared with tents Lifeshelters save a lot of money due to their much greater life span.

Lifeshelter strives to comply with 4 of the
UN Sustainable Development Goals

Lifeshelter provides a healthy and safe indoor climate, which contributes to an overall improvement in physical as well as mental health. Statements from the beneficiaries living in Lifeshelter has indicated a decrease in the need for medical assistance for the shelter inhabitants.

Lifeshelter Classroom provides a safe and healthy learning environment where children are protected from climate and weather conditions. The rapid scalability and low cost helps overcome current capacity related challenges to UNs aim for providing education for all.

Lifeshelter is designed to be produced locally. Establishing a local production instead of importing tents and related products will increase the employment rate, build local capacity, and contribute to the overall economic growth. In time this could lead to a much more resilient community.

Lifeshelter ensures an increased access for inhabitants to adequate, safe and affordable housing. Lifeshelter is made up of recyclable and reusable materials, and no scarce natural resources are used in the production. These benefits can help creating sustainable communities.
