Virtual Event | 16:00-18:00 CET | 17:00-19:00 EET – In our pursuit of becoming carbon neutral by 2025 and a net-zero company across our value-chain by 2030, and aiding our clients to do the same, we have established the Sustainability Tech Forum and Award in the Nordics. The purpose is to drive increased willingness to leverage technology to create a sustainable business, go beyond discussions and knowledge sharing, and stimulate applied sustainability technology. This is a virtual forum where we discuss how technology can enable new low – carbon business models and inspire each other to push the sustainability agenda even further.

Throughout the afternoon the topic of sustainability will be covered from different angles. You will hear from the world-renowned professor in environmental science with an emphasis on global sustainability, Johan Rockström, as well as a deep dive into the Nordic agenda. What is the status in the Nordic countries, and what are the challenges we see driving sustainable businesses? You will also be inspired by projects being done in other companies as we will share highlights from work being done across the Nordics. To sum up the afternoon is a discussion on challenges and solutions, where Nordic companies share their learnings.

We look forward to welcoming you to an inspiration session around applied sustainability technology.
