Through this initiative, we want to increase awareness of hidden disabilities and establish a clear framework for how we meet people with additional needs. Our goal is to make travelling with Scandlines as safe and comfortable as possible, ensuring that both passengers and customers are met with the care and understanding they need and deserve.
All employees across our organisation are trained to recognise the Sunflower symbol, understand what a hidden disability may involve, and know how to offer support when a passenger is wearing the Sunflower lanyard.
“As a service provider, Scandlines is committed to meeting our passengers and customers where they are. The Sunflower Programme is another step towards creating a safe and considerate travel experience, where everyone feels acknowledged and respected – even when the need for support isn’t visible,” - Dennis Mundt Nedergaard, Head of Customer Success.
For employees, the programme strengthens our focus on creating a working environment where everyone feels seen and supported. A place where we recognise that some colleagues live with challenges that may not be immediately visible – and where we meet each other with patience, understanding and respect.
“The Sunflower Programme is a natural step in building a workplace and service culture where there is room for everyone, and it supports Scandlines’ ambition to be an inclusive and welcoming employer,” - Jakob de la Cour, SVP, Head of HR & Internal Communications.
