• Change starts at the top. Nordic CEOs are committed to take lead.  

    The Nordic CEOs for a Sustainable Future have joined forces to align our business models with the most important ethical, social and environmental issues of our time.

  • A shared ambition from the CEOs of leading Nordic enterprises.

     

    Goal 

    Align business models with the ethical, social and environmental priorities of our time to help achieve the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

     

    How?

    1. Exchanging progressive practices and exploring shared initiatives to achieve more sustainable outcomes.
       
    2. Convening the Nordic CEOs and Prime Ministers to accelerate action on the transition to a more sustainable economy.

    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
