At SALTO we strongly believe equal accessibility is a fundamental birthright, which is why we are enthusiastic sponsors of various accessibility programs throughout the globe. We are committed to adopting an increasingly sustainable model to respond to environmental and social impacts. We strongly believe in embracing diversity and solidarity for all, and that equal accessibility is a fundamental birthright, which is why we are proud to sponsor Free2move.org.
What is Free2Move?
Free2move was created to drive social change, specifically around accessibility to sport for people with physical disabilities. As part of our ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance) policy, the initiative aims to connect, inspire and uplift individuals within the disabled community.
To encourage more people to engage with and support the Free2move initiative, we are in the throes of relaunching the Free2move website. The website has been revamped to better showcase the projects the initiative supports, as well as promote the various athletes, sports teams, and their relevant parasports.
How does Free2move work?
Free2move.org champions over 10 social development projects across individual and team sports.
We understand that for sports to be more inclusive of the disabled community, they need to be adaptive. Adaptive sports allow more adults and children with physical disabilities to get off the sidelines and take part. Free2move.org supports a number of adaptive sports. Visit free2move.org to learn more about athletics, wheelchair basketball, para-triathlon, hand-bike, winter sports, wheelchair fencing, and more.
SALTO Systems recognizes the benefits that sport has for mental and physical health. Not only does sport give one a sense of accomplishment, but it also allows people to socialize with others and find a sense of belonging. Free2move aims to do just that for the disabled community.
Athletes with disabilities also deserve a platform to showcase their achievements. Free2move.org is proud to host a website that gives our athletes the recognition they deserve. The website showcases a community that leads a life of excellenc and tehe performances and stories of our athletes teach others valuable lessons. Through this website, we show the value of acceptance and appreciation for anyone with a disability.
Our goal is that these inspiring athletes will encourage others, break stigmas and persuade more people to participate in sports.
Free2Move is about social inclusion in sport
The Free2move initiative aims to raise global awareness of adaptive sports in the hope that it increases access for physically disabled people in these sports.
SALTO Systems knows how important it is for people to have role models they can relate to and identify with. The Free2move website showcases these athletes to inspire a younger generation. When people, like our athletes, can be shown to live a life of excellence, this can inspire others to lead their best lives too.
SALTO focuses on a range of social initiatives with Free2move
Free2move is proud to focus on many social initiatives within parasports.
Free2move goes beyond just sports programs, however. We are also focused on non-profit humanitarian organizations as part of our social initiatives. As SALTO Systems has 40 offices worldwide, each branch takes it upon itself to improve the lives of its local communities.
SALTO Systems works with local non-profit humanitarian organizations in each branches’ respective location. We assist with financial grants, partnerships, and investments. Our goals include supporting disaster recovery, addressing the needs of children, protecting displaced community members, and improving living conditions for the underprivileged.
As a company with a strong ESG program, we enable our employees to get involved to help improve the lives of their fellow community members. Many of our employees take part in our volunteer programs. This is beneficial not only to the communities and people in need that we serve but also to our employees.

Accessibility in sport is for the present and the future
