Expert groups

We have established various professional groups that you can join. Currently, we have three active groups: the Entrepreneurial Group, the HR Expert Group, and the Sustainability Expert Group.

Another aspect that we focus on is entrepreneurship. Why would it be good for the whole economy if a lot more young women would start their own company? How can we support this, what are the special requirements and ideas of female entrepreneurs and where do they need more support than their male peers, how does family life affect their businesses differently? These topics and a lot of inspirational role models await the members of our entrepreneurs’ group that we have recently started, especially looking at the challenges of the ‘New normal” work environment.

We don’t only learn from each other regarding diversity and equality issues at large, but also in relation to our own area of expertise. Equal opportunities, inequality, the effects of diversity on business results, are all issues that are intertwined with all aspects of work. One of the most obvious aspect is the area of HR. Who do we hire, based on what criteria and how are these decisions might be affected by unconscious biases? Can we put together diverse teams in our companies that excel in innovation? These are some of the topics that are on the top of mind for all HR leaders. That is why we formed our HR Professionals group. We aim to help HR leaders transform their organisations.

Climate change has become one of the greatest challenges in human history. This global issue not only affects environmental systems but fundamentally alters economic, social, and political relationships as well. The increasingly stringent regulations, guidelines introduced by the European Union, and international commitments all aim to prepare companies and communities alike for these changes. We believe that sustainability is not just the responsibility of companies but a shared cause that we all must contribute to. We aim to support this effort with our professional group and related events, offering extensive knowledge sharing.
