A strong sense of social responsibility has been a powerful catalyst in bringing the partners together in the Valhalla business venture.<\/p>\n
The Peace 2000 Institute<\/a> was founded in Iceland by Thor Magnusson in 1995 to promote and influence peace initiatives around the world.<\/p>\n The Mirpuri Foundation<\/a> was founded by Paulo Mirpuri in Portugal with the aim to contribute and make a positive difference regarding the most pressing issues threatening our planet. Programs include marine and wildlife conservation and aeronautical research to reduce emissions.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Iceland and Portugal are the two most peaceful countries in Europe according to the Global Peace Index<\/a> report for 2017. They are also at the top of the charts as the most environmentally friendly<\/a> countries in the world. Iceland has become a pioneer in geothermal<\/a> energy that currently provides clean heat to the majority of Icelandic households.<\/p>\n Several synergies are shared between our countries and organizations.<\/p>\n The Leif Eiriksson Peace Award will become a joint program by the two organizations and will be funded with donations from profits from the Valhalla venture.<\/p>\n
