SF Studios’ company policies provide guidance on specific internal control areas, including information on how to act if someone notices a behaviour that is not in line with our company values and policies. SF Studios also trains staff regarding conflict-of-interest and other internal control policies.

#SilenceAction

Since 2017, SF Studios has been heavily engaged in the Swedish #MeToo-movement through the #SilenceAction-initiative (Swedish: #TystnadTagning). SF Studios has, in collaboration with The Swedish Film & TV Producers Association, The Swedish Film Institute and The Swedish Union for Performing Arts and Film, organized annual seminars to discuss and reflect on the importance of the #MeToo-movement in Sweden and push for change in working conditions throughout the film and TV industry in the region.

Supporting children initiatives

SF Studios strongly believes in sustainability, from an environmental point of view as well as from a human perspective. This is why we support initiatives that are aimed at children and young people, especially those who are vulnerable.

Our children are our future and we must do as much as we can to give them the support and the strength to grow up in a healthy and environmentally friendly world and leave them a worthy legacy. Some of the initiatives we support are Pippi of Today, My Special Day, Move It and Generation Pep.

My Special Day

For many years, SF Studios has supported the My Special Day Foundation, to help children and adolescents with critical illnesses and diagnoses. SF Studios has also offered children free screenings of SF Kids films in hospitals and free streamings of films at SF Anytime during the Covid-19 pandemic.
