Humanitarian needs continue to grow, while communities continue to adapt, recover and rebuild. Throughout 2025, Better Shelter worked with humanitarian partners, local communities, governments and the private sector to improve access to safer, more dignified shelter, while continuing to develop more sustainable and adaptable shelter solutions.

“What starts as a shelter can become a classroom, a clinic, a business, or a stepping stone towards recovery.”

Johan Karlsson, Managing Director and Co-founder

Our 2025 Annual Review brings together highlights from the past year, including humanitarian responses, product innovation, sustainability, learning, and our United Nations Global Compact Communication on Progress, outlining our progress in advancing the Ten Principles on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
