“We need to talk business into sustainability – otherwise I do not think it will succeed.” So says Associate Professor and author Annabeth Aagaard in this podcast.
Sustainability has become an inevitable theme that needs to be addressed. In many Danish companies and organisations, however, the transition is more easily said than done, and many still find it difficult to abide to the green intentions. This is stressed by a new report from the Alexandra Institute, which reveals that 89 percent of Danish companies have not yet started to reduce their climate footprint, even though they desire to do so.
