New report: Nordic companies can contribute to reducing consumption based emissions

The Haga Initiative has produced a report within the vision project Climate Neutral Nordics – a project in collaboration with Climate Leadership Coalition and Skift – Næringslivets klimaledere – Business Climate Leaders, financed by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

The Nordic countries are globally recognized for their commitment to sustainability, yet they face challenges in managing consumption-based emissions. As these emissions are often higher than territorial emissions, it is essential for Nordic businesses to play a pivotal role in reducing them. The report presents some suggestions around this:

  • Strengthen sustainable Nordic value chains with co-benefits
  • Design and implement circular business models
  • Advocate for sustainable consumption patterns amongst customers
  • Invest in green technologies

The global economy requires a holistic approach to emission reductions, even in the Nordics, so focusing more on reducing consumption-based emissions on a societal level is crucial.
