Local sportsteam
We proudly support local sportsclub ØIF Arendal, Jerv and Arendal Fotball, all engaged in contributing to the society beyond sports achievements.
Together with ØIF Arendal we collaborate on "Strandyddedagen" where young teams clean the beaches in and around Arendal. The support for Jerv has been earmarked for the establishment of a fund to help children in low-income families, as well as the club's street team. The support for Arendal Fotball is divided equally between the women's team and the men's team. Other sponsorship include Arendal Tennisklubb and Froland IL.
