Talga AB wants to do the right thing from the start - supports Gender Equality Industry
Talga AB has signed the letter of intent Gender Equality Industry – an initiative that gathers actors from Norrbotten and Västerbotten around a common direction.
Eva Pijnenburg, People and Culture Manager at Talga since 2021, talks about the commitment to gender equality.
"This is a necessary investment because what has been done in the past in the industry has not been enough. With a declaration of intent, we show that we mean business. Talga AB is a relatively new company, which means that we can put the puzzle right from the start, says Eva.
The background to the letter of intent, which is an initiative from the county administrative boards of Norrbotten and Västerbotten, is the major industrial investments being made in northern Sweden, and whose success is dependent on both women and men wanting to live and work in the north. In order to attract more women to the industry, it is important to set the bar right and think about gender equality already in the job advertisement, Eva explains.
– Do we really need to give the exact number of years of experience or is "good experience" enough? We know that women are more cautious than men about applying for positions if they do not meet the requirements one hundred percent.
Eva sees an advantage in Talga working with gender equality issues early in the company's development.
"In companies with few women, jargon is created that is shaped after men. If, on the other hand, women are part of the business from the very beginning, a culture is created accordingly. But the gender equality work is also about practical things, such as providing the right clothing sizes, menstrual protection in toilets and more.
To show that Talga is an inclusive workplace where everyone is welcome, the company adapts the schedule to work also for single parents – who are often women.
"Our operators don't start at 06 a.m., they start at 07 a.m. The kindergarten opens at 06:30. How should you as a single parent put the puzzle together? There we can help by not scheduling long meetings before 09 am, for example.
For Talga, equality, diversity and inclusion are factors that have the potential to strengthen the company and help it grow.
"Differences of various kinds mean that one plus one becomes three. We want a broad competence base and people with an entrepreneurial desire. We believe that much of what will be done in the future does not exist today and therefore it is very important that people are willing to change. Gender equality is another important key to success. How companies work with gender equality will be visible in the last lines of the report, Eva concludes.
Facts:
Talga AB currently has 26 full-time employees and over 50 percent are women. The company will work to maintain an equal distribution also in the future.
Positive news for the factory in Luleå
Thursday 21 June was a historic date for Talga AB. Then the Land and Environment Court announced that the company received a permit for the planned factory at Luleå Industrial Park.
The announcement came shortly after the Land and Environment Court gave a positive ruling for mining at Nunasvaara Södra. However, the permits for mining operations in particular have been appealed, which is not uncommon in industrial establishments.
– The judgment is comprehensive and we find it difficult to see that we would not get permission. At the end of the day, this is a very important mineral for the green transition, which must also be extracted responsibly," says Per-Erik Lindvall, Chairman of the Board.
Right now, only felling has taken place at the site of the planned factory at Luleå Industrial Park. The plant, whose ground preparation work will begin later this year, will use graphite concentrate from Nunasvaara Södra to produce battery anode material for further transport to the customer. The permit allows for a production rate of up to 22,000 tonnes per year. This is enough for over 200,000 electric cars annually and the factory is expected to be in production by 2025.
Talga AB becomes a sponsor of the budo club
Now we can happily announce that Talga AB is a new sponsor of the Budo club Tomoe.
The major team sports such as football and ice hockey are perhaps more common in corporate sponsorship. This time Talga AB thought a little differently and fell for martial arts, which are often associated with kicks and punches, but which in this case is about something else. Ju-jutsu kai is one hundred percent a self-defense sport.
"The sponsorship from Talga AB means a lot to us as a club. It will give us opportunities to continue the reconstruction after the pandemic and we will be able to travel on various activities and training camps during the year, says Michael Uhland, coach.
Lucky winner for our electric car at the Kiruna Festival
Talga AB was of course at the Kiruna Festival this year as well. The win in our competition "guess the weight of the graphite car" went all the way to Karesuando.
Environmental permit granted for both battery anode factory in Luleå and graphite mining in Nunasvaara Södra - spring and early summer have been eventful for Talga AB, to say the least. The visitors during the Kiruna Festival's company expo were many and our win in the competition, an electric Volvo XC90 for children, was a real drawcard.
The graphite car, on which the contestants guessed the weight, weighed 14.4 kilograms. Unfortunately, no one hit the spot, but they were close! Two contestants guessed at 14.5 kilograms and one competitor thought our car weighed 14.3 kilograms. Therefore, the ticket had to decide and the lucky winner was the Söderfalk family from Karesuando. Congratulations and welcome back next year!
