About us

Øystein is Fauna's founder and general manager. He has always been interested in the climate, but finds it difficult to change his own habits. He dreamed of a loyalty program that could entice people like himself to live a little more sustainable. When he had a daughter, he felt it was time to take action to secure her a good future.

Otherwise, Øystein likes to watch great TV series, go snowboarding, and spending time in nature. Norwegian mountains and forests are one of his favourite places. Like many others, there have been trips by car and plane, and meat on the tablre. But lately, he has become completely sold on vegetarian food, and the car is gone. He now uses an electric bike or rental car when needed.

Claes is Fauna's head of partnerships. When he's not chatting with Fauna's partners or looking for new rewards for the Fauna users, he hangs out with his cool kids. They are his biggest hobby, but he also enjoys training and reading sci-fi literature.

Claes calls himself a recycling fanatic and likes to clean up rubbish discarded in his local area with his children. He has also been eating more vegan food in the past few years. He is constantly inspired to do more things for the environment, and strives for less talk and more action.

Michael is Fauna's technology manager. He believes habit change is the solution to the climate problem, but that this is too difficult today. Apart from programming, his main interest is the Asian board game Go. Even after 15 years, he never ceases to be fascinated by this game. The game has also given him opportunities to meet people from all over the world, including his wife.

Otherwise, he has switched to an electric car, and the flights have been changed to bus and train. The diet is mostly vegetarian, locally produced and organic, and lately he has started exploring sustainably produced clothes.

Martin is Fauna's chief engineer and is responsible for creating the app itself. He wants to use his knowledge of technology to influence the future for the better. In his spare time, he enjoys walking, watching movies and playing video games.

Synne is responsible for Fauna's content. When she's not writing articles and posts for SoMe, she is recharging her batteries in nature. You can most often find her in the mountains, with or without a snowboard or a climbing harness.

Her commitment to climate has become stronger over the years. For a long time, there was polyester in almost every garment, and meat was the key ingredient in every dinner. Now her diet is more plant based, and is rocking more second-hand clothing. second-hand. New pieces must be of quality, organic materials and last for years. Her favorites so far are her mother's old Lee jeans and mountain anorak.
