At Erikshjälpen Second Hand , we work for a sustainable transition in society with the help of climate-smart reuse. We want to inspire others and show that it is possible to take care of the earth's resources in a more sustainable and responsible way - environmentally, socially and economically.
In Sweden, we live as if we had four Earths, when we only have one. If everyone lived as we do, we would need at least three more globes. We can't have that.
As Sweden's leading second-hand chain, Erikshjälpen is an important opinion leader and influencer when it comes to non-profit, non-profit second-hand activities and the role it has in the transition to a sustainable society, environmentally, socially and economically. Together with you who shop and donate goods to our stores, we can make a difference.
Inspire more people to be sustainable!
More and more people are becoming aware of their consumption and want to shop in a more sustainable way. While it is positive that awareness is growing, society still has a long way to go in changing its habits. We therefore work actively to influence sustainability issues.
Our goal is to raise awareness of the benefits of second-hand shopping while inspiring people to live a stylish and confident life, even with reused garments and gadgets that can be loved again.
We believe that every step counts and that change starts with ourselves.
We contribute to a positive environmental and climate impact
One of the most important benefits of shopping second hand is that it contributes to a more positive environmental and climate impact. At Erikshjälpen Second Hand , we work actively to make it easy to shop sustainably.
We spread knowledge about the benefits of second-hand shopping and inspire an eco-friendly and trendy life filled with clothes and gadgets that get the chance to be loved again.
We promote a circular economy
Together with you who shop and donate goods to our stores, we promote a circular economy by reusing and recycling materials instead of throwing them away. In this way, we save both money and the environment. Together, we can extend the life of more garments, furniture and gadgets - so they can be used and loved for as long as possible.
We make a difference - nationally and internationally
Our store operations have an impact both nationally and internationally - as all Surplus from the stores goes to work for children's rights, worldwide. In this way, we can promote a sustainable transition on a global level.
How we work on social sustainability
In our stores, we don't just give things, but also people a second chance. We have a social mission where people who have been excluded from working life in various ways receive Support and guidance through internships and job training.
