Our assignment

Samhall is the leading Swedish company in providing development opportunities for people with disabilities through employment. Samhall is wholly owned by the Swedish government.

The assignment of Samhall is given by the government and expressed in the articles of association in the following way:

“The assignment is to produce goods and services that are in demand in order to provide meaningful and developing employment for persons with disabilities, where there is a need.”

Samhall’s assignment is summarised by the owner in four demands for which targets are set annually. Samhall must each year:

• Have a certain number of employees with disabilities.
  
• Contribute to a certain number of employees making a transition to employment in the ordinary labour market outside Samhall. The annual target for transitions has the last years been 5 percent of the employees.
  
• Recruit employees from specially prioritised groups of people with disabilities. That means that at least 40 percent of the people with disabilities that Samhall employ during a year must be from the groups of people with intellectual disabilities, mental illness or multiple disabilities.
  
• Achieve a balanced financial position.
