Nor­d­ic Nine

Every time we make a choice, we are shaping the future. We decide how resources are shared, how green our world should be, how we treat one another, and what we hand over to the next generations. The world presents us with complex questions that demand action.

This is why we all need to reflect more deeply about things we once took for granted. Society and the business community alike are in need of  people who, with an ethical, social and sustainable mindset, can create new solutions and drive progress.

The ability to reflect is something we all have. With Nordic Nine as our foundation, we strengthen that ability together and explore how each of us can contribute to a more positive future.

Below are the nine capabilities
