-Kjeld Johannesen | CEO

We have a joint task and a shared responsibility. And we can only see the task through if we believe in it. Reducing Danish Crown’s payroll costs by 20 per cent per kilogramme represents a huge challenge. But we have come a quarter of the way, and I feel confident we can achieve our goal with the rest. You have to think what the alternative is.

Honoured for saving someone's life

In March 2009, the union representative at Danish Crown in Ringsted, Torben Lyngsø, was named First-Aid Helper of the Year 2008 by the Danish Red Cross. Together with the award, he was presented with a cheque for DKK 10,000.

I was just pleased that I was able to help, says Torben Lyngsø, who in March 2009 was honoured by Danish Red Cross for saving a colleague’s life.

Saving another person’s life is not something you do for the money. I was just pleased that I was able to help. But it’s nice that other people appreciate what I’ve done, says Torben Lyngsø.

Torben Lyngsø received the award for what he did on 10 March 2008 when his 26-year-old colleague, Mikal Borkowski, accidentally cut himself in the groin while removing plucks. His femoral artery was cut and blood streamed out of him, but Torben Lyngsø acted swiftly by pressing two fingers into the wound to stop the severe bleeding. Torben Lyngsø accompanied the patient in the ambulance and all the way into the operating theatre before removing his fingers. It saved Mikal Borkowski’s life.
