‘My main focus at Mørenot has been to implement a systematic approach for the development of and follow-up on strategic initiatives, including the company’s ESG strategy. While it can be hard to navigate the jungle that is sustainability, my objective has been to create a single cohesive strategy framework that is suitable for the organization and that makes reporting as efficient as possible,’ she said.

Simultaneously, I will be working to ensure that the group has a proactive approach to upcoming regulations. I look forward to bringing together the knowledge and expertise of all Hampiðjan Group companies to position Hampiðjan as a global leader in the ESG space.’
