Through this partnership, Linstow becomes a corporate sponsor of AKTIV Against Cancer— and the first real estate company to enter into such a collaboration with the organization.
“Physical activity is an important part of good health and quality of life. Through our work with health-promoting buildings and urban development, we aim to help more people live active lives. Our partnership with AKTIV Against Cancer enables us to support initiatives that have documented benefits for people affected by cancer, while also strengthening our own commitment to health and prevention,” says Knut Løken, CEO of Linstow.
Exercise as part of cancer treatment
AKTIV Against Cancer was established in 2007 and works to make exercise an integrated part of cancer treatment — from the time of diagnosis through rehabilitation. The organization has established 24 dedicated training facilities, known as Pusterom (“Breathing Spaces”), at hospitals across Norway for cancer patients.
Through its work, the foundation has also trained nearly 1,000 AKTIV instructors — professionals with specialized expertise in adapting physical activity for individuals undergoing or recovering from cancer treatment. Aktiv mot kreft collaborates closely with health authorities and leading research institutions both nationally and internationally.
“We are very pleased to welcome Linstow to our team. Their focus on health-promoting buildings and urban development aligns well with our mission to improve public health and make physical activity a natural part of cancer treatment. Together, we can contribute to increased knowledge, activity, and quality of life for many people,” says Helle Aanesen, Managing Director of AKTIV Against Cancer.
A shared commitment to health and quality of life
The partnership enables Linstow to support AKTIV Against Cancer’s work while also offering employees opportunities to participate in activity-based initiatives and events organized by the foundation.
It also opens the door for collaboration on activities and events that promote physical activity and community — both within the company and in cooperation with other organizations.
For Linstow, the partnership is a natural extension of the company’s commitment to health promotion and social sustainability.
