Compact multifunction oven with steam. The multifunction compact oven with steam combines fan cooking with conventional cooking and two steam cooking options for exceptional cooking versatility. Hot air and steam combine to deliver fantastic results with excellent health benefits, in both taste and preservation in this multifunction oven with steam settings. Food can be cooked to perfection with all the texture, colour and flavour preserved. Food is crisp on the outside whilst moist and succulent on the inside, so it looks and tastes better. The steam also isolates the food cooking, so that flavours do not mingle, meaning you can cook sweet and savoury at the same time. Cooking with steam is a healthier option retaining a far higher level of nutrients, vitamins and minerals in the food reducing the need for fat and salt with the ability to give golden crispy results.

Compact microwave. The stylish AEG-Electrolux compact microwave with grill offers a powerful 1000W microwave with five power levels and a grill to give crisp, brown results. A selection of preset programmes makes setting the oven easy and takes the guesswork out of cooking.

Precision and control

Fast Heating AEG-Electrolux induction cooktops are much faster than conventional electric cooktops as well as being faster than gas. The electromagnetic field virtually turns the pot into a heating element, dramatically reducing heat up time and giving instant control for very low simmering or rapid boiling. Safety Cut-Off Switches zones and cooktop off if no settings are selected after approximately 10 seconds. Moisture or boiling liquid spilling over onto the control panel, immediately switches off all cooking zones. If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or if the heat setting is not modified, the relevant cooking zone switches off immediately. Power Function This function (when selected) supplies an extra high heating boost for large quantities of food or liquid.
Induction Cooking with Magnetism induction cooktop surfaces will not heat up unless a ferromagnetic pot is placed on the element. This is a safe cooking system as no heat is generated at the cooktop, the heating only occurs in the pot. Power Share Management The cooking zones share the maximum power available to them. When the power function is activated this reduces the heat setting of another zone. Timer All cooking zones can use the two time functions at the same time; e.g. as a countdown timer to sound an audible signal upon completion of elapsed time or automatically shut off after the elapsed time. Overheating Protection In the event of overheating (e.g. when a pan boils dry) the cooking zone automatically switches itself off. STOP+GO The STOP+GO function simultaneously switches all cooking zones that are switched on to the keep warm setting and then back to the heat setting that was previously set. This function can be used to briefly interrupt and then continue the cooking process e.g. to take a telephone call.
Safe Cooking With induction cooktops there is no conventional heating element, so the cooking surface stays much cooler and therefore safer. Also, if the pot is removed from the cooking zone, that zone immediately switches off. Automatic Warm Up Function All cooking zones are equipped with an automatic warm up function. The automatic warm up function sets the cooking zone to the highest setting for a certain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cooking setting that was originally set. Child Lock The induction cooktop will not operate until the child lock has been deactivated. Suitable Cookware The induction system will only operate when suitable cookware such as stainless steel, enamelled cast iron, steel pots and pans all with ferromagnetic properties are used. Glass, ceramic, copper and aluminium are not suitable for the induction cooktop. NB: Features may vary depending on model. Please refer to product specifications.

Highlight Highlight cooking areas on cooktops to reach maximum heat in seconds, with heat evenly distributed across the whole cooking area. Heat Warning Lamps Separate residual heat warning lamps indicate when cooking has finished and the cooktop controls are turned off. The warning lamps remain illuminated until the temperature falls to a safe level. Overheating Protection To protect the glass cooking surface, all AEG-Electrolux elements are fitted with an over-temperature sensor. Should the incorrect cookware be used or an element left unattended for a long period of time, the additional safety sensor will switch the hot plate off to control the temperature and prevent over-heating. Automatic Warm Up Function All cooking zones are equipped with an automatic warm up function. The automatic warm up function sets the cooking zone to the highest setting for a certain period of time and then automatically switches back to the cooking setting that was originally set.
Extended Cooking Zones Extended cooking zones are larger areas of an element which can be activated when using larger pots and pans. The extended element offers a larger cooking area and additional heat. Timer All cooking zones can use the two time functions at the same time, e.g. as a countdown timer to sound an audible signal upon completion of elapsed time or automatically shut off after the elapsed time. Variable Temperature Fully variable thermostats allow maximum adjustment for all cooking styles from rapid boiling to simmering. Safety Cut-Off Switches zones and cooktop off if no settings are selected after approximately 10 seconds. Moisture or boiling liquid spilling over onto the control panel, immediately switches off all cooking zones. If one of the cooking zones is not switched off after a certain time or if the heat setting is not modified, the relevant cooking zone switches off immediately.
Touch & Slide Controls Touch controls are protected by Ceran glass to allow for precise temperature selection. The cooktop surface is completely flat and easy to clean. STOP+GO The STOP+GO function simultaneously switches all cooking zones that are switched on to the keep warm setting and then back to the heat setting that was previously set. This function can be used to briefly interrupt and then continue the cooking process e.g. to take a telephone call. NB: Features may vary depending on model. Please refer to product specifications.

Automatic Program Advanced sensors determine the amount of water, temperature and the cycle length based on the cloudiness or dirt content detected in the water and the size of the load working in conjunction with the water sensing program. Self-Cleaning Filter It progressively cleans the water as it circulates, trapping even the smallest food particles in the micro filter. The lower spray arm directs a jet of water which aids in self-cleaning the complete filter assembly. Fuzzy Logic Automatically locks out any incorrect selections and prevents any mistakes during a cycle. It will monitor the wash and make any adjustments to the wash time and water usage as required. 30 Minute Program This program is designed to clean either just-used or average to lightly soiled dishes without pans and uses only 9 litres of water at 60. Multi Tab This optimises the cleaning and drying results in 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 tablets by adjusting the cycle time and temperature. This ensures that the different elements of the detergent are used in the correct part of the cycle for a perfect fresh result.

5 Spray Levels For optimum wash results, the softer spray pressure in the top basket makes it ideal for fragile items, leaving the more vigorous spray action in the lower basket for heavily soiled items. All AEGElectrolux dishwashers have long spray arms to give a wider and improved water dispersion. Anti-Flood System For complete peace of mind, AEGElectrolux dishwashers have an Aqua-lock which switches off water supply to the dishwasher in the event of an accidental leak. This system will activate in stand-by mode providing the dishwasher is connected to a power supply. Active Drying Residual drying with the added benefit of a condenser unit providing faster, more effective drying. Turbo Drying Selected models feature the turbo condenser drying system resulting in improved drying of dishes. It activates a fan which draws steam from the dishwasher cabinet, condensing the steam back into water. Third spray arm For an extra clean wash, some of our dishwashers have a third spray arm, thus adding another dimension.
LCD Display (model F89020IM only) Allows you to scroll through the menu indicating programs, times and options available. Counts down the pre-set delay time then displays program phase and time to completion. Also indicates when salt and rinse aid need refilling. LED Display Counts down the pre-set delay time then displays the time to completion. Once the program is selected, the display will indicate the approximate wash time. When the fuzzy logic takes control of the wash, the time display adjusts accordingly, reducing the wash time. Delay Start A delayed start of 1-19 hours can be selected in advance. This convenient feature allows the dishes to be completed at night while you are sleeping. Pulse Wash System The pulse wash system in all AEGElectrolux dishwashers alternates a low spray pressure for 4 seconds, then high pressure for 1 second. Pulsating the water over the plates aids removal of any heavy soilage. NB: Features may vary depending on model. Please refer to product specifications.
Adjustable upper basket For convenient loading, a height adjustable upper basket allows large dishes and plates to be stacked with ease. When fully loaded this basket can be adjusted to allow large plates to be washed in the bottom basket.

With almost half of our 3,800 suppliers located in low cost countries, we encounter different work cultures and regulatory frameworks. In particular, in some emerging growth markets, local labor practices and environmental standards may not be in line with our expectations or those of our stakeholders. Compliance to the Environmental Policy and Code of Conduct are an integrated part of our purchasing policy. Through our Responsible Sourcing Program, we are committed to ensuring that our high standards are applied along our supply chain. In 2007, we conducted 116 Code of Conduct audits, about 10% of of which were conducted by a third party. We also raise awareness through supplier training. We worked closely with suppliers in Asia to build capacity and enhance the sustainability of our products. 2008 will see these efforts extend to Brazil and Eastern Europe. More on p.26

Restructuring

A core part of our long-term business strategy is to locate 60% of our plants in countries with a lower cost base by 2010. This is essential for Electrolux to maintain a leadership position in an increasingly competitive global appliance market. As well as boosting our presence in emerging growth markets, restructuring our operations provides an opportunity to raise social and environmental standards throughout the world. We realize, however, that plant closure comes at a cost for the people and regions involved. How effectively we manage this restructuring process is vital for our reputation as a responsible citizen. Through constructive engagement and dialogue we are trying to ensure positive outcomes for all involved. Approximately 650 employees were affected by closures announced in 2007. More on p. 32

Streamlining operations

Our goal is to cut energy in operations by 15% by 2009. Over 50 factories are responsible for emitting 95% of our direct CO2 emissions. They are a primary instrument for change.
A 15% reduction in energy use equates to an annual companywide CO2 reduction of 100,000 tons, based on 2005 Group consumption levels of 1.8 TWh of energy. The imperatives of climate change and high energy prices are the key drivers. A welcome fringe benet will be the approximate savings of SEK 100m (12m) we expect to make annually. To ensure progress against our goal, Henrik Sundstrm, VP, Sustainability Affairs says: We monitor targets and require all operations with a heated area above 1,000 m2 to report on their performance. A new target for 2012 will be set in 2008. As the examples of Revin and Anderson illustrate, facilities show different rates of progress. We will continue to track and report their performance. Revin exceeds 15% target Top management commitment, teamwork and attention to detail at Revin, France, have resulted in a 16% reduction in energy consumption between 2005 and 2007. Training and close attention to targets are key to success, especially if a re-organization or novel processes are involved, says Eric Lefvre, Facilities Manager, Safety and Environment. Measures taken include automatic stops on production lines after idle periods, optimization of compressed air systems, thermostats in all workshops and automated ventilation. Investments, behavior changes and delegating energy-saving responsibilities delivered a reduction of 25% per added value between 2005 and 2007. The measures put in place will save Revin an estimated 3 million kWh and SEK 1.7m (180,000) annually. Anderson anticipates improvements Our US plant at Anderson, South Carolina, made energy reductions of 12% per added value between 2005 and 2007, but with its increase in production volumes, it has yet to reduce its total energy use. A switch to powder coating and lower oven temperatures has resulted in reduced electricity and gas consumption. To contribute to our 15% target, tool pre-heaters will be powered in future by cheaper electricity instead of natural gas. A similar change is being explored for the hot water boiler. Lighting and compressed air projects present good energy efciency opportunities and variable frequency drives in electrical motors offer additional potential savings.

sound business practices

Listening to you
Understanding the concerns of consumers is central to Thinking of you. As a sustainable brand, we are accountable to many stakeholders customers, employees, shareholders and others affected by our operations and products.
To be a trusted partner, we know it is important to provide insight into our priorities, progress and how we work. Dialogue also provides a win-win opportunity listening helps us dene our strategy and nd common ground. Electrolux encourages engagement with investors, consumer and trade organizations, customers, legislators, and non-governmental organizations. Group Sustainability Affairs has overall responsibility to encourage discussion on sustainability-related issues, and top management was actively involved during 2007. Shanghai roundtable Owner-representatives are also engaged. Investor AB is the Groups largest owner, with close to 12% of the share capital. In fall 2007, Investors chairman, Jacob Wallenberg, spoke about the role of energy-efcient appliances in tackling climate change at the International Business Council of the Mayor of Shanghai, chaired by Mayor Han Zheng. The focus of the meeting was how business and government partnerships can address environmental challenges. The meeting was a platform to discuss how private industry can help nd sound, sustainable solutions for mega-cities. Investor AB has a stake in the sustainability agenda of Electrolux. This was an opportunity for me to both contribute, and garner feedback, on their approach, Mr. Wallenberg comments. Strength in numbers Another forum for engagement is our membership of organizations such as Business for Social Responsibility, the UN Global Compact and CECEDthe European Appliance Industry Association. In them, we discuss issues such as revisions in the EU energy labelling scheme and effective supply chain management. We also participate in the Swedish working group for the development of ISO26000, international guidelines on management of social responsibility. Union representation on the Board While intensity of contact with external stakeholders varies by issue, one dialogue remains constant that with employees. The Groups Board of Directors comprises non-executive members, the President and, in accordance with Swedish law, three employee representatives and three deputies. Their purpose is to provide employee input into company decision-making. Our most important contribution to the Board is that we have knowledge of the company from the inside. The accumulated competence of our members gives insight into all aspects of the Gunilla Brandt Employee representative on business, says Gunilla Brandt, the Board of Directors for Unionen representative of the Swedish trade union, Unionen. Dialogue with employees Our Employee Attitude Survey (EAS) is a web-based tool for anonymous employee feedback. EAS 2007 was the most comprehensive survey to date, with more than 10,000 employees contributing including, for the rst time, all ofce workers in Asia. More examples of dialogue are on pages 9, 15, 19, 32 and 34

Communicating the Code

Electrolux applies the Workplace Code of Conduct universally, including for suppliers and sub-contractors. It covers safety, health and environment, and addresses workers rights such as child and forced labor. In 2007, Code of Conduct training was conducted for our HR function, purchasing and other managers in Asia/Pacic, Poland and Brazil. They, in turn, have responsibility to train their own staff. In communicating the Code of Conduct, a local approach enables our employees to recognize how the Code is relevant to their workplaces, says Jens Schlyter, Manager, Corporate Social Responsibility. The training weve done in 2007 demonstrates the full gambit of how we communicate the big picture in a local context. Used annually at all units, the ALFA tool communicates the key concepts of the Code, offers feedback opportunities and tests its integration into Group units. In 2007, internal auditors assessed units in Thailand and China and audits in Mexico and Romania were conducted by third parties. Together with other Group staff functions, a group-wide ethics program embracing the Code of Conduct and other policies will be launched in 2008.

Safety net

Every safety incident is preventable with proper procedures, training and hands-on engagement by both manager and employee. One step at a time, we will reach our end-objective of zero accidents at our facilities.
Every factory within the Group has procedures to ensure a safe workplace. The factorys general manager and ultimately the head of the business sector have responsibility to see that they are effectively managed. Workplaces are monitored according to the Code of Conduct and management systems such as OHS18001. Of our 53 factories, 37 apply a standardized production method called the Electrolux Manufacturing System (EMS). Safety is one of nine indicators used to gauge procedures within EMS. The safety indicator is measured in incidents per 200,000 manhours, or the TCIR. In 2007, three business sectors worked towards a 10% global TCIR reduction target from the previous year. North Americas goal was a TCIR of 1.5. Three of four sectors achieved their objective. Best practice in North America Electrolux has demonstrated stable incident rates since groupwide data collection began in 2003. During this time, Electrolux has also opened factories in China, Thailand, Poland and Mexico. Our journey is best exemplied by Electrolux in North America. When we started in 2003, the industry recordable injury rate was about nine and we were at about 16. Today were at about one, says Keith McLoughlin, Head of Electrolux Major Appliances in North America. Today, our plant in Juarez, Mexico has a TCIR that ranks third of eight production locations in North America. Developing a common approach in Asia/Pacic Our three factories in China and Thailand have also demonstrated improved performance (all of which have a TCIR under 2), with improvements in Australia (TCIR 4.1 and 11.2, down 30 %). Weve taken what North America has done and were building on it, Tom Bell, who manages the health and safety program for Electrolux Asia/Pacic, explains. With our presence in low cost countries, we cant cut corners. In fact, we are off to a better start than our older factories. Work continues in two plants in Australia to enhance the safety mindset. As people become older, they are more susceptible to injuries, for example from lifting. The average age of our factory workers in Australia is 44. Our focus is therefore on wellness issues such as the importance of exercising and good eating habits. To develop a more coordinated approach in Asia / Pacic, general managers, safety and HR managers of their ve plants will meet in Hangzhou, China for an H&S summit in May 2008. Employee ownership of safety McLoughlin explains the key to safety: It just cant be a top-down management issue. Its got to be ingrained in the culture of all employees on the shop oor level. With this mindset, activities will continue at each facility to embed safety values and behaviors.

People vision

Electrolux is grounded on the skills and insight of our employees. With our newly-dened People Vision, we are nurturing competence throughout the Group, says Carina Malmgren Heander, Head of Group Staff Human Resources.
The Group is undergoing a major change in business strategy, by shifting from a production to a consumer-oriented company. Since we are built on the experience of our employees, we will grow by optimizing our existing talent pool as we move forward. rward. The People Vision, dened in 2007, was launched to dene how e this will be achieved. Our vision is to have an innovative culture with diverse, out, standing employees. It is based on people who drive change and e go further in delivering on the Groups strategy and performance ance objectives, Heander, explains. Lingua Franca A number of Group functions are in place to enable this, including luding HR policies, leadership programs and an internal recruitment tool, but cultivating a global approach in a decentralized organization is on challenging. A decentralized organization is designed to help us lp stay close to the business in terms of needed competence, tence, explains Heander, yet we need to speak the same language. To reinforce our shared approach, in 2007 all Electrolux HR policies were revised. Our Grandparent Principle is intended to ded improve transparency. The Recruitment Policy aims to ensure fair re hiring and our Compensation Policy denes a consistent approach oach to remuneration. HR training is conducted on each of these. In 2007, the Boards Audit Committee appraised the effectiveectiveness of our Appointment of Senior Managers policy in creating eating balanced teams. It also assessed how management teams uphold the Code of Conduct. Its conclusions will be followed up in 2008. Sustainability and the People Vision As well as furthering the best interests of all our employees, we s, want to provide them with the tools to contribute to our sustaintainability goals. We aim to develop an organization that is appealing pealing to employees as human beings, Heander states. Health and safety is fundamental to me it must be a zero accident approach. roach. That, and work with the Code of Conduct needs to be a priority in ty every organization. Sustainability is also included in induction ction programs for all new senior managers. Diversity It is important that our organization mirror our consumers our s brand is global and women most often determine choice of appliance. Increasing staff gender, age and cultural diversity is vital. tal. The share of women represented among senior managers and Group Management increased in 2007, while representation on the Board of Directors declined. The absolute number of women remained the same, however. Approximately 140 senior and managerial al positions were lled, about 27% t 27% of them by women. A similar percentage of leadership program participants were female. There are three women executives in Group Management. Four of eleven members of Group management and four of nine ownerelected members of the Board were non-Swedes. For more on employee feedback, see p. 18.

Supplying change

Since 2004, supply chain Code of Conduct monitoring has been an integrated part of sourcing from China. As we rene our procedures, work conditions are improving amongst most suppliers but better detection also reveals more cases of non-conformance to resolve.
In 2007, 102 audits were conducted by Electrolux Code of Conduct specialists and 14 by external auditors worldwide. Our program placed particular focus on Asia. Following his 50th re-audit, Andrew Feng, Corporate Social Audit Manager within Electrolux Purchasing in China, drew two conclusions: the number of non-compliance cases was dramatically reduced by 38% but only seven out of 50 were in full compliance with our Code of Conduct. Our audit methodology has improved, which is why were nding more non-compliance by some suppliers than we did during initial audits, says Henrik Dahlstrm, Director of the Responsible Sourcing Program. While most categories show improvement, health and safety, child labor and working hours remain an issue in China. (See p. 28 and p. 29) Managing risk Responsible sourcing helps ensure that suppliers uphold the values enshrined in the Electrolux Code of Conduct and Environmental Policy. Supplier assessments take into account four areas of risk: 1. Geographical location (Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe) 2. Extent of business with a supplier 3. Type of supplier relationship 4. Type of operation 2007 milestones Of ve objectives set in our 2006 Sustainability Report, four were achieved: Code of Conduct specialists are in place in China. Specialist teams in Eastern Europe and Latin America were approved by Group Management. Four purchaser training sessions were held in China and Thailand and one in Sweden. Follow-up audits were conducted in China with all active suppliers audited in 20052006.
Work in cooperation with Global Purchasing on our fth objective, the development of common procedures for Code of Conduct assessments, is ongoing. Our end goal is to introduce a methodology that includes all aspects of the purchasing organization. Achieving transparency and engagement along the supply chain is a long-term goal of Electrolux. Through training, we are helping suppliers foster a sense of ownership of the issues and facilitate sustained improvement.
Raising the bar Focus areas in 2008 include: Launch the program in Latin America and Eastern Europe Further develop our methodology and tools, including more detailed environmental requirements and criteria Internal training and capacity building within Purchasing and Quality organizations Introduce training sessions and other supporting activities for our suppliers outside the audit framework

Audits shed light on under-age labor
Jiao-jie is fteen. When a recruiter came to her village looking for workers for a supplier assembly plant, she applied. With her sisters borrowed ID, no questions were asked. She was among the 21 conrmed under-age labor cases uncovered in the Electrolux Responsible Sourcing Program in 2007.
Cases like Jiao-jie* are not uncommon. While Chinas legal working age is 16, socio-economic pressures mean that protecting children from work that is potentially exploitative, hazardous or harmful does not always take precedence. Under-age labor is a zero tolerance issue for Electrolux. In 2007, we uncovered 21 children between the ages of 14 and 16 employed by four suppliers. In all such cases, our priority is to protect the interests of the child. Each child has a story to tell Our investigation into why Jiao-jie was working and how she was recruited found she was employed under the same conditions and had to deliver the same results as older colleagues, involving shifts and long hours. When found, she was taken off the assembly line, says Andrew Feng. We were able to contact her parents and prepare her return home. In dialogue with Jiao-jie, her parents and the supplier, it was agreed she could continue to receive a salary provided she resume her schooling. Electrolux conducted a follow-up visit to her village six months later and found her returned to her family and safe. Supplier monitoring In under-age labor cases, non-compliant suppliers are given immediate notice by our responsible buyer that corrective mea-
sures must be taken, failing which the supplier contract is subject to termination. Within a month, they are re-audited, sometimes unannounced, to verify hiring procedures, and to search for additional under-age workers at the facility. In 2007, all affected suppliers recognized the severity of the situation and revised their routines. No supplier contract was terminated due to under-age workers. Every child is followed up With the exception of four children who left the premises before we were able to investigate further, Electrolux followed up all the child workers uncovered. Of the 21 children identied last year, 15 returned to their parents. Like Jiao-jie, nine of these were provided a salary and promised a job once they come of age. Six of the 15, however, refused the salary payment offer. Some parents are cautious about being perceived as indebted to the employer. They choose not to be tied to the factory in that way, says Henrik Dahlstrm, Director of the Responsible Purchasing Program. In 2008, Electrolux will continue to dialogue with a non-governmental organization with indepth knowledge of China and issues relating to the protection of children, to further develop our response.

Fredericia, Denmark When investigation into the protability of Fredericia was announced in early 2007, production volumes had been low for some time and did not cover the xed cost base of the factory. The decision to close followed and labor unions and management reached a nancial agreement quickly. The last scheduled working day was December 21st, 2007. Wage increases, a bonus for employees with over ten years service and an attendance bonus to encourage employees to stay during the wind-down of the factory were offered. The result was that absenteeism actually went down during this period unusual for a closure. Michael Lassen, union representative at Fredericia, describes the approach taken by Electrolux during the process: Electrolux was honest and transparent and when the decision to close was taken, the company put all its efforts into helping workers get a new job. In total SEK 43 million was invested in the Fredericia closure. By February 2008, fewer than 15 of the 150 people who worked at Fredericia were jobless.
Spennymoor, UK Spennymoor, UK is due to nish production in December 2008. After a two month investigation into the factory making freestanding cookers and built-in ovens, the decision to close was made in December 2007. According to Reg Bell, a senior union representative at Spennymoor, a hallmark of the investigation process was transparency: The investigation could not have been more open. We looked at all the major savings we could [make] to bridge the prot gap with new production facilities in Poland, but in the end we were not able to compete on wages. There was a feeling amongst some that whatever we did, the decision had been made to move to Poland, but we were given every opportunity to examine any possibility to sustain the business at Spennymoor. Unions were involved in selecting the outplacement provider to identify new job opportunities and organize retraining as well as pre-retirement and job application advice. It is estimated that 90% of employees will nd new work. Total investment made by Electrolux in the Spennymoor closure is SEK 390 million.

Vstervik, Sweden

Vstervik, Swedens vacuum cleaner plant in closed in 2005. Our primary focus was to individually tailor employment opportunities for staff. At the same time, we invested in the growth of small and medium-sized businesses. Credit for todays thriving community goes to partnerships between local politicians, local industry and other stakeholders. At closure, Electrolux launched a two-year project to help the 511 employees nd work. By May 2007, 367 were employed or studying fulltime while 71 were unemployed or on disability payments. The remaining 73 were either retired or engaged in job support programs. Electrolux invested a total of SEK 20m towards growing the regional economy and in Forward Vstervik!, a development company jointly owned by government and businesses. We donated our factory facility, currently occupied by 25 companies. The effort has paid off in a 2007 Confederation of Swedish Enterprise regional ranking of economic viability, Vstervik rated 65th of 290 communities in Sweden, compared to a 242nd place in 2004.
