Together for Herning

In September 2022, Verdo and Bæredygtig Herning jointly invited local businesses to the ‘Together for Herning’ network meeting, with the theme: ‘How can we together make Herning Denmark’s most sustainable municipality?’

Sustainable development is a high priority in Herning Municipality, which has set the ambitious goal of being climate-neutral by 2050. Many Herning companies are already well underway, and over 100 people took part in the event. We had assembled an exciting guest panel which eagerly and inspiringly discussed the day’s theme together with the participants.

On the panel were:

Dorte West, Mayor of Herning Municipality

Jakob Flyvbjerg Christensen, CEO of Verdo

• Torben Skovsgaard, CEO of Herning Blue Fox

• Morten Dilling, CEO of DILLING

• Steffen Max Høgh, CEO of Bæredygtig Business, moderated the panel debate

For Verdo and Bæredygtig Herning, the aim of the event was to promote inspiration, knowledge and collaboration, so that Herning businesses can all help each other create the development needed to further accelerate the green transition.

“To achieve the goal of a sustainable transition in society, we need to promote collaboration where we can inspire each other and advance the agenda together. Working with sustainability is so complex that no single company or organisation can ever reach the goal alone, but when we meet to address the challenges and share knowledge, we can turbocharge the process,” said Thea Lyng Thomsen, CEO of Bæredygtig Herning, in connection with the event.
