Odda promotes music
Odda has chosen to sponsor, among others, the local area's cultural events in the form of an annual involvement in the Hardanger Music Festival, at which chamber music plays a prominent part, and the blues festival, Odda Blues.
Sports-working life exchange
In Sweden, Boliden sponsors, among others, the ice hockey team, Skellefteå AIK and the ladies' football team, Sunnanå SK. The sponsorship activities are based largely on a partnership and exchange between Boliden and the two sporting clubs. The elite players are invited to make annual study trips to the Renström mine and the Rönnskär smelter where they are given an in-depth introduction to the operations. The clubs and Boliden also get together on targeted activities and a collaborative involvement in children and young people and in topical social issues.
Charlotte Kalla Boliden on skis
November 2010 saw the world's elite cross-country skiers in Gällivare for the premiere of the World Cup season. As one of the main sponsors, Boliden donated, among other things, a prize in the form of a silver ingot for the female competitor who produced an outstanding performance. Not entirely surprisingly, the prize went to "ski queen", Charlotte Kalla, who took second place in the eventpremiären.
