Scandic's Disability Ambassador on CNN
Magnus Berglund has been Scandic's Disability Ambassador for six years. Now his work has been featured on CNN which, for the first time, has chosen to tell the story of a company that works actively on accessibility.
Six years ago, Magnus Berglund was just about discounted by the labour market. One day he came to Frank Fiskers, then head of Swedish operations, and presented his idea of how Scandic could work more on accessibility at its hotels. And so it was that Magnus's life took a new direction. This inspiring tale has now become a report on CNN World View.
"This is fantastic proof that investing in accessibility brings benefits of all kinds. I'm extremely proud of both Magnus Berglund and Scandic," comments Frank Fiskers, now President and CEO of Scandic.
