Christine Bischoff, leader of Sergel's Nordic sustainability forum, shared her insights on challenges and setting goals to support a sustainable business with a focus on compliance, customers and employees.
Sustainability for Sergel is not just a documented policy; it is an integral part of the corporate culture. Under the slogan "We care", they have not only focused on environmental aspects, but also on economic and social sustainability. Driving sustainability in this way positions Sergel well to meet the requirements of the new CSRD directive, where more focus is placed on social sustainability.
To make sustainability a game changer, compliance is of central importance. Through CSRD and other laws, companies are required to have policies, strategies and activities in place to be compliant. Furthermore, sustainability is not only a moral duty but also a strategic advantage. It can strengthen the brand, attract new customers and give a competitive advantage, according to Christine.
Christine pointed out that Sergel goes from good intentions to concrete action; sustainability is a key factor in the business, not just a nice-to-have but also a business necessity. By mobilizing the entire organization, Sergel aims to integrate sustainability more deeply into the company's future. Christine believes that 2024 is the year when Sergel increases awareness and works even more actively for a more sustainable future, where each employee's choice is decisive for the company's sustainability.
