On our journey to becoming a more sustainable employer, we have made a simple change to our onboarding habits by replacing the traditional flower bouquets with sustainable trees.
To support us, we have partnered with EcoTree, a leading provider of nature-based solutions in Europe, who has a tree gift card solution that we have adopted. This means that new colleagues who join our Nordics organisation are offered a tree ownership.
One of the new tree owners is Senior Manager HR Business Partner Christian Eksten, who joined our company in August. This is his feedback on the initiative:
Simple changes can make an impact
By a simple change in our onboarding process, we can reduce carbon emissions from the flowers and make a positive impact by helping to preserve the forests and their ability to capture CO2, slow down global warming and increase biodiversity.
