SPP

offers consultancy services and a wide portfolio of savings and pensions solutions for companies, organisations and private individuals. SPP employs just over 500 people with head offices in central Stockholm. SPP is part of the Norwegian Storebrand Group. SPP’s total assets under management are valued at 140 billion Swedish kronor (€15.8bn).

‘The Battle of the Numbers’

ran between November 2012 and November 2013. The project aimed to improve women’s chances of getting operational management positions.

Ten major Swedish companies took part in the project - Ericsson, Scania, SEB, H&M, IKEA, the pension provider SPP, Saab, SSAB, Sandvik and Volvo. Ten women from each company were chosen to take part in four day-long workshops where they could also exchange experiences. The ten companies’ CEOs also took part in the project. 

The project was an initiative by Sofia Falk, the founder of Wiminvest, Cissi Elwin, editor in chief for Chef magazine and Eva Swartz Grimaldi, Blanchi café and cycles. The three women now want to export the model to other countries.
