Norge skrev historie da de i 2018 lanserte en av verdens første strategier for satsting på hjernehelse. Nå er strategien evaluert og denne uka ble den drøftet på Arendalsuka. Hjernehelse ligger vårt hjerte nær som tran-produsenter gjennom mer enn 150 år. Fettsyrene i tran og fiskeoljer er viktig for utvikling av hjernen, og for opprettholdelse av hjernens normale funksjon gjennom hele livet. Men hjernen er dessverre også opphavet til vært mange og ulike typer sykdommer, fra demens til MS og migrene. Den nasjonal hjernehelsestrategien har i sin første fase satt mål og delmål for hjernehelse i helsevesenet. Strategien spenner fra livskvalitet til hvordan man skal sikre et mer brukerorientert helsetilbud for pasienter og pårørende. Den setter også mål for bedre behandlingsforløp til økt satsing på forskning og innovasjon. Oslo Economics har gjort en første evaluering av strategien og på Arendalsuka var både allmennlegene, kommunehelsetjeneste og spesialisthelsetjenesten med i panelet for å vurdere arbeidet.  Tilbakemeldingene viser et behov for å gjøre mye strategien mer kjent i helsetjenesten, men samtidig er det interessant å høre at den er gull verdt for klinkere og fagfolk på norske sykehus. Den bidrar allerede til mer fokus på felles satsingsområder. Mange håper nå på mer ressurser og enda mer tydelige mål i en neste fase.   Takk til Hjernerådet - (Norwegian Brain Council) for interessant og lærerik debatt og for å være en viktig faktor i et omfattende arbeid med mer fokus på hjernehelse. Vi ser vi frem til neste fase av strategien. Möller’s Pharma er med å finansiere Hjernerådets arbeid.

Vi forbereder oss til Arendalsuka og gleder oss til å være med når Hjernerådet - (Norwegian Brain Council) inviterer til evaluering av Norges første nasjonale hjernehelsestrategi. Norge er en av få land i verden som har en slik nasjonal strategi. Strategien trådte i kraft i 2018 og fordi den nå skal fornyes gjøres det en evaluering av hva som er kommet ut av den. Evalueringen presenteres av Oslo Economics, og Helsedirektoratet er blant dem som skal kommentere på funnene. God hjernehelse er et felt vi har engasjert oss i gjennom mange år, og siden 2019 har vi bidratt med aktiv finansiering av Hjernerådets arbeid. Hver gang det selges Möller’s Pharma-produkter med Hjernerådets logo går det en krone til rådets arbeid. At det til sammen har gitt nesten to millioner kroner er helt unikt. Hjernerådet er en paraplyorganisasjon for norske hjernemiljø, som jobber for bedre behandling til mennesker med ulike hjernelidelser. De representerer 70 medlemsorganisasjoner, 25 brukerorganisasjoner og 45 fagmedlemmer, med til sammen flere hundre tusen brukere. En av hjertesakene deres er at både pasienter og pårørende skal oppleve bedre livskvalitet. Nå gleder vi oss til å se hvordan hjernehelse-strategien evalueres: Hva har kommet ut av den første politiske satsning på hjernehelse? Hva kan vi lære av innretningen og erfaringene med nasjonal hjernehelsestrategi og hvilke forventninger skal vi ha til den neste hjernehelsestrategien? For den som vil være med: her er Hjernerådets program i Arendal: https://lnkd.in/dKX7Rn9S Med Sølvi Jensløkken, Helene Westerblad, Per Ottar Grotle, Anders Brunæs, Mari Hagerup #arendalsuka #hjernehelse #forskning

Kids prefer simplicity, and it appears we're have been succesful in meeting their demands by the launch of Jordan's Kids and Junior Toothpaste in a user-friendly pump format. The Jordan Toothpaste in pump has received overwhelmingly positive feedback from consumers in France and Malaysia, three moths after the launch. The first Jordan dispenser for toothpaste, has been designed with the intent to make brushing more fun and easier, and the press dose mechanism enables kids to manage the toothpaste on their own. We all know how hard it can be to get the right amount of toothpaste from a tube and the annoyance of finishing the last bit. The insight and consumer research provided by Global Brand Manager Jordan Sandee Chai, shows especially kids like not having to twist tubes open or closed. The pump design, already known in other Asian markets, keeps the new Jordan tube looking clean, even after many uses. Thanks to Jordan designers Ingvild Øiesvold Brataas, Sara Maria Pedersen and Anne Dreher for developing and and designing the new product. So greatful for all effort done due to the launch, and happy for all the positive consumers feedback. In France and Malaysia, thousands of households have become owners of the new pump within its initial month on the market. Going forward, upcoming rollouts are anticipated due to excellent strategizing by Annina Bican and Hanne Rølling Nymand #toothpaste #oralcare #oralhealth #kids #jordan

The powerpose for diversity! We do it! Every year, as a part of the weekly celebration of Oslo Pride, The Oslo Pride Business Forum gathers top leaders, academics and minorities to discuss how to create a more diverse and inclusive work environement. Listening to politicians, former UN spokespersons, advisors, strategy directors and not to mention the pride community, is not only a mindopener but also key for learning. How can we create better work aspects for all our employes? What can we do to improve our common culture? The perspectives on minorities, understanding of social mechanisms and the importance of organizations being large and inclusive. Listening to all the stories being shared on stage, it is obvious that inclusion is not only about the structured approach but also about implementing the small things to show you care. Having the back of your colleauge. Showing support. The impact of inclusion can never be under-estimated. Diversity, Inclusion and Equality is important but not only on inclusion weeks: Its important every single day. June is the international month for Pride celebrations, but diversity need to be celebrated everyday. Thats is also why we did the powerpose. It actually came quite natural for Head of sustainability Line Berg Dørum and The Oslo Pride Business Forum presenter Brita Møystad Engseth (a well known TV- and radiopresenter) Thanks for the inspiration: Kimiya Sajjadi, Kjetil Smette, Mathias Holst, Chisom Udeze and Adrian Prent. 💚 💙 💛 🧡 💜 💓

Get to know the Jordan toothpick factory - the largest producer of wooden toothpicks in the world (as we know it)! Producing more than 800 million toothpicks a year, the factory has an amazing value chain starting by timber and carpentry workshops.

Cutting follows a detailed process using up-to-date technology to separate natures malware. Factory Manager Elisabeth Normann deserves big thanks for sharing insight in what is to be describes as a beautiful factory. The millions of toothpicks are being sent to all over the world.

On United Nations World Environment Day, we pay tribute to Hold Norge Rents initiative to clean our shores, and follow their encouragement to cleaning along rivers, lakes, beaches, islets, islands, paths, and in urban spaces - preferably near where you live. The earth's resources are under pressure and we share the dedication for clean marine areas. We can all contribute to ensure cleaner waters, and in Orkla Health we are proud of the annual event to clean our local beaches. Every single year since 2019, we have contributed by cleaning up plastic that washes ashore in the Oslo area. The annual Beach Clean Week, organized by Hold Norge Rent, is in fact one of the largest voluntarily national events in Norway. The week, each year being held in September, gathers families with children, groups of friends, students, farmers' associations, the fishing industry, outdoor councils, municipalities, waste companies, and many, many more contribute to a clean and beautiful nature.   We contribute by taking time off from the office to pick up trash, especially plastic, on the beaches near to us. However, reducing the amount of new plastic on the market is maybe even more important and part of our responsibilities as producers. We work to reduce plastic in our products and our packaging, and to the greatest extent possible use recycled material, as well as designing for recyclability.  #UNWorldDays #GenerationRestoration

Today is certainly historic. After five years of planning, Vesterålen Marine Oil, could finally inaugurate  their new factory in Northern Norway and the harbour of Myre. The new plant is becoming the most modern production facility in the World for omega 3, with new technology, a more sustainable utilization and increased production volume. The factory has the capacity to receive larger quantities of raw material, and the new technology will  significantly increases the utilization rate of the raw material used in fish oil production. A groundbreaking technology allows for better usage of proteins and will contribute to prevent raw material previously used as animal feed to become a renewed value as high-quality protein. We are honoured that Norwegian Secretary of State, Kristina Hansson (AP) from the Ministry of Trade and Fisheries did the official opening. We have high expectations for this facility, which will  be the main facility for Möller's Tran. Norwegian raw materials are in high demand beyond Norway's borders, and with investments like these, we ensure a strong value chain and more robust business operations. And of course, our honored guests were happy to celebrate with a spoonfull of Môller’s Tran (today already a major export product and is sold in more than 30 markets worldwide). Thanks to Nofima, UNIVERSITETET I TROMSØ - NORGES ARKTISKE UNIVERSITET and Innovasjon Norge for support and collaboration. #technology #codliveroil #spoonfulloflife #møllers
