Enrich the business core with a focus on environmental, social, and governance issues. That’s how Nordic companies have become the global leaders in creating a positive impact on society.
A stunning one-third of all food produced globally goes to waste—and the problem is growing. Companies that take aim at this issue can reap rewards.
Denmark could add 75 billion DKK to the economy by full integration, with employment as the main value driver. The predicted need for an additional 70,000 workers in 2025 provides Denmark with an opportunity to meet labor market demand by closing the employment gap between immigrants and Danes.
Policymakers must change Denmark’s Societal framework to advance gender diversity. While change is needed on every level and at every stage, policy changes can make the biggest difference when they affect the time period of career progression and family expansion.
Despite Denmark’s history as a global front-runner with policies that boost gender equality and balance and companies that keep gender diversity high on their strategic agendas, the share of females in leadership teams has only marginally increased over the past ten years, according to the World Economic Forum.
