Ambassadors

Every year we sponsor young athletes and artists to help them reach their personal goals and unlock their talent. This year was no exception, and it was a pleasure to support athletes Þorbergur

Ingi Jónsson, Elísabet Margeirs and Sara Björk Gunnarsdóttir, as well as artists Laufey Lin, Kaleo and Celebs from Suðureyri.

Tree planting

In early October 2021, our team and their families got together at the 66°North forestry and planted over 2000 trees. The effort was a part of a larger initiative with a target of planting 11,000 trees over the next five years. This year we sustained our efforts with another 2000 trees going into Icelandic soil - well done team!

Internships

66°North has a rolling internship programme for business students, art students and technical students at university level. Internships are an invaluable way to provide students with real industry knowledge, and this year we welcomed 6 interns on placement, two of which progressed to permanent employment.

Donations

As an apparel brand we recognise we can do a lot of good with the products we make and every year we use our clothing to help those in need. In 2022 we produced a Ukraine T-shirt and through this initiative, raised £25,554 for UN women.
