Our CEO, Ásgeir Baldurs, joined Iceland's first UN Global Compact roundtable discussion led by Halla Tomasdottir from The B Team.
On October 25th, ten CEOs from various Icelandic companies, including Ásgeir, came together to discuss sustainability challenges and ways to collaborate for faster progress. Their aim was to assess the current sustainability landscape, pinpoint obstacles, and explore joint pathways toward improvements.
The CEOs jointly emphasized the crucial need to align Icelandic economic and public sector priorities with sustainability objectives. They stressed the importance of unified efforts in addressing sustainability concerns and committed to collaborating effectively to achieve this common goal:
"Cooperation between the public and private sectors and sharing knowledge across industries is the key to a fairer and more sustainable world. We call on all companies and governments to put more emphasis on sustainability issues in their operations and business activities, and in particular, support carbon neutrality goals for 2040, the use of green energy, the acceleration of the energy transition, innovation, and funding of actions. Only through ambitious goals, actions, and courage can we increase value and prosperity for all both responsibly and sustainably."
