    It all starts with "together".

     
    In August 2019, the Nordic Prime Ministers and the Nordic CEOs made a public statement about our shared vision and commitment to advance an economy where people and planet can thrive together, which included:
    • Pursuing climate diplomacy in international forums to deliver solutions with impact on global emissions and to meet the goals of the Paris Agreement
       
    • Getting more done, faster, in light of the importance of making progress towards 2030
       
    • Being global leaders and advocates for climate action
       
    • Taking common steps to deliver towards gender equality
  • Meet Our CEOs

    A group of ambitious leaders pushing to integrate the UN SDGs into their respective business strategies.
