Move For Charity: Exercise for the benefit of others

Data Respons Solutions is a health aware and health promoting company that encourages and enables exercise and physical activity for all employees whether it be at or outside the workplace. This is where Move for Charity comes in.

Many scientific articles point in the direction that regular exercise is beneficial for both physical and mental health. The World Health Organization acknowledges the important role mental health plays in achieving global development goals and go as far as saying that mental health is an integral part of health; indeed, there is no health without mental health.

We have an active company sports team and encourage participation in miscellaneous local runs, relay races, bike & ski races. We take our QHSE targets seriously. Our goal is at least 85 % participation in physical activity and a sick leave of max 2.5 %. 

What is Move For Charity?

After 14 years of systematically following up, promoting and encouraging exercise, we upped the ante and established Move For Charity a project where we exercise for something greater than ourselves and for the benefit of others.

Through a series of low -threshold Move For Charity events (10 in Norway, 2 in Denmark, 2 in Sweden, 2 in Germany) hosted by different department employees and organised through our @workplace pages, everyone can register and attend. For every event our employees complete, we make a donation to a charity of their choice at the end of the year.
