About Membership

The world is changing rapidly in times of the fourth industrial revolution, pandemics, global warming and other sustainability challenges. This is accompanied by hugely exciting opportunities in the field of innovation and business operations, no less than challenges that require a strong, forward-looking and creative ingenuity that does not call all of its grandmother and unhesitatingly connects sectors and specialties in order to sense the spirit of the times as best as possible and find solutions to the challenges.


Í upphafi árs 2021 setti Festa á laggirnar Aðildi – fellowship prógram sem felur í sér aðild að Festu í eitt ár. Markmiðið er að læra af leiðandi fyrirtækjum og stofnunum á sviði sjálfbærni og samfélagsábyrgðar í íslensku atvinnulífi og nýta þekkinguna í verkefnum í námi.


In the year 2022, Aðildi is a joint project between Festa and Össur, but Össur is a leading international company in the field of health technology and was a founding member of Festa in 2011. Össur has worked systematically on sustainability and environmental issues ever since and reached the milestone of becoming carbon neutral in 2021


In the year 2022, there are 9 university students participating in the Aðilda group. These are students who are passionate about sustainability and the circular economy, questioning critically, philosophically and with a mission for development in today's world.
