Unconscious bias 🧠 is a term we hear frequently today, especially in conversations about workplace diversity, equity, and inclusion. But what exactly is unconscious bias, and why should we care about it? At its core, unconscious bias refers to the automatic attitudes or stereotypes that influence our understanding and decisions without us realizing it. Our brains rely on shortcuts to process information, but when applied to people, these shortcuts can lead to unintended judgments that contradict our conscious beliefs. In the workplace, this can affect hiring, promotions, and interactions, creating missed opportunities for inclusion. Recognizing our own biases allows us to make fairer decisions, embrace diverse perspectives, and foster a more inclusive culture. We recognize the importance of this, that is why we are implementing training across Höganäs globally to address unconscious bias head-on. By fostering awareness and understanding, we are taking steps to create an environment where everyone feels seen, valued, and included. 🤗 👥 🤝 Pictures from some of the trainings - thank you all for your engagement and Charlotte Siversson Therése Jönmark for making it happen! #diversityandinclusion #hoganas #sustainability

In English 👇 . 💡Det här projektet är ett inspirerande exempel på hur vi, tillsammans med Kappahl Group, RISE Research Institutes of Sweden och BioInnovation, kan göra konkret skillnad för en mer hållbar framtid. Projektet bygger på idén att omvandla textilavfall 🧦👕 , som annars skulle brännas, till biokol – ett alternativ som skulle kunna minska behovet av fossilt kol i stålindustrin. För oss är uttjänta textilier en särskilt intressant råvara eftersom de, till skillnad från trä, i stort sett saknar andra användningsområden. Ekonomin och hållbarheten i vår process kan stärkas med kol från en sådan biprodukt, vilket ger både miljö- och ekonomiska fördelar för oss och våra partners. Detta initiativ är inte bara ett steg mot vårt mål om netto noll-utsläpp i egen produktion till 2030 🏭➡️0️⃣, utan också ett bidrag till en cirkulär ekonomi och nya innovativa lösningar för textilåtervinning. Med sådana här satsningar tar vi täten i att leda positiv förändring genom materialinnovation och visar på kraften när aktörer från olika industrier går samman för klimatet och framtidens hållbarhet 🤝🌱. #powderthatempower #drivingpositivechange #höganäs This project is an inspiring example of how, together with Kappahl Group, Rise and BioInnovation, we can make a real difference for a more sustainable future. The project is founded on the idea of transforming textile waste 🧦👕, which would otherwise be incinerated, into biochar – an alternative that could help reduce the steel industry’s reliance on fossil coal. For us, discarded textiles are a particularly valuable resource, as they largely lack other uses compared to wood. Using coal from such byproducts could enhance both the economics and sustainability of our process, creating environmental and financial benefits for us and our partners. This initiative not only moves us closer to our goal of net-zero emissions in our own production by 2030 🏭➡️0️⃣, but also supports a circular economy and innovative solutions for textile recycling. With projects like this, we are leading the way in driving positive change through material innovation, showing the power of collaboration across industries to create a more sustainable future 🤝🌱. https://lnkd.in/dXFueK2X
