Denmark, and the entire Nordic region, is taking a global leadership role both in implementation
of the SDGs, rapid decarbonization of the energy system, and of purpose-led,
sustainability-oriented business innovation. This Green Transformation is reflected both in national strategy, policy innovation and in corporate business and brand transformations.With the participation of the Danish Foreign Minister and top executives from four leading Danish corporations, we will explore the value of the Danish model of green and sustainable innovation,
including how it relates to the sustainable development goals.
