Those of us who believe what the science tells us, that climate change is real and that it is being caused by humans, we still aren’t always certain of the underlying authority behind our beliefs.
A news item may bring some scientific study to our attention, but how well equipped are we to say…
Robert Sabelström is as Swedish serial entrepreneur who has been involved in founding three start-ups, lead a recycling company in Poland, served as a management consultant, and written a book about growth hacking.
For years Robert has also been a keen surfer, and indirectly this is the reason why he founded ClimateHero. Surfing, although not a carbon-intensive sport on its own, turned Robert into a climate villain. The first time he calculated his own climate footprint, in 2017, he weighed in at almost 20 tons of carbon dioxide per year.

When the European Commission in December 2019 announced its ambition to make the union climate neutral by 2050, they were rightfully applauded by almost everyone. Undoubtedly, the European Green Deal was a huge step in the right direction as the deal included the revision of relevant climate-related policy instruments and freed up monetary resources to help economies transition towards climate neutrality.
The European Green Deal Investment Plan (EGDIP) is expected to mobilize investments of at least €1 trillion in sustainable investments over the next decade. It was also decided that 30 percent of the massive €750 billion COVID-19 recovery fund…

The design and software company Vincit was founded in Tampere, Finland, in 2007. Today, the company has got more than 450 employees in Finland, USA and Switzerland, and last year it reached a turnover of 48 million euros.
Vincit has been awarded “Best workplace in Finland” three years in a row. In 2016 it was labeled “Best workplace in Europe”, and this year its US branch was ranked “Best workplace for innovators” in the USA.
Having made sure it takes good care of its employees, Vincit decided to also take care of the world. A new vision was created…
Pension funds are often neglected in discussions on climate impact. An odd fact, considering that in Sweden alone, companies are investing almost 60 million dollars a day in occupational pensions for their employees. But too much of that money is still going into the fossil fuel industry or other unsustainable business.
”It’s great to order organic coffee for the lunchroom, but we shouldn’t forget about the potential impact of sustainably invested pensions”, says Johanna Lundgren Gestlöf, head of sustainability at SPP.
Last year SPP, a part of the Storebrand group, made all their funds fossil-free, and just recently the company…
