MANAGING PARTNER
DEN SOCIALE KAPITALFOND INVEST
"Socially responsible companies are an inevitable part of the future business and investment climate. It is a global trend on the rise these years, and that is a good thing. The social and sustainable companies have great commercial opportunities, now it is time to look at the sustainable transition as an investment opportunity rather than a philanthropic initiative for the largest companies and private equity funds. It represents a great human and economic potential"

SENIOR MANAGER
DELOITTE
“A sustainable future depends on our ability as a society to create and stimulate the ecosystem around innovative business models. The new generation of entrepreneurs represents one of the key players. The winners of the 21st century focus on sustainable growth, and if we are to reach the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030, we need more innovative partnerships. Therefore, we are part of the collaborating partners with the new institute and Days of Impact, which intends to bring together the entrepreneurial ecosystem so that we can create better conditions for the sustainable transition”
SUSANNE WESTHAUSEN

We should hold on to that tradition and make Denmark a sustainable pioneer by creating sustainable growth, jobs and development throughout Denmark”.
