CIRCULAR ECONOMY REQUIRES LEADERSHIP AND CARBON PRICING
On Monday 3rd December, we hosted the webinar “Climate and business: How can the Nordic green transition accelerate in a world of growing geopolitical uncertainty?“. Amongst the panellists, we had two corporations who provided valuable insights on what business sectors need to transition to a circular economy. Read below what they highlighted. 👇
Sara Davidsson, Sustainability & Compliance Director, Stena Recycling AB:
“Politics can phase out fossil fuel subsidies, support energy efficiency and take action in public procurement. We have taken part together with several companies with Haga Initiative in bringing tools to the public procurement in our business area, so we know they are in place but they are not used to the extent that they could be. We need to fill the gap on what we are doing with the knowledge on a decision-making level.”
Maria Sandell, Head of Sustainability, JM:
“The most important thing at the moment is leadership. To showcase good examples that are in place already and bring these questions to the table. That is something that the politicians can help us with. Listen to what the company needs. The second most important thing, in my mind, is that carbon pricing would also help.”
This webinar was part of the vision project Climate Neutral Nordics, organised by the Haga Initiative in collaboration with Skift – Business Climate Leaders (Norway) and Climate Leadership Coalition (Finland), financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
