Event Details

The Nordic Ambassadors' Forum: Sustainability Perspectives is happening on 3 November 2022 from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.



Join us to get inspired on your sustainability journey!!


The event recognizes the importance of sustainability pioneered by Nordic countries in achieving a sustainable planet - with focus on SDG 17, Partnerships for the goals. The speakers will all share their perspectives on how to be successful in sustainability, be it on a country, company, or individual level.


The event's first session highlights the perspectives of the four Nordic Ambassadors and a Philippine governmental representative about efforts on Sustainable Development in the Nordics and the Philippines. The 4 Nordic countries rank 1 to 4 globally on sustainability - lots of inspiration to be shared!


The second session features company representatives from each of the four Nordic countries and the Philippines. The companies are all part of the Nordic-Philippines Sustainability Book. They will share their perspectives, best practices, and recommendations.


Each session finishes with a moderated open forum.


As part of the event, we will also be launching the Nordic-Philippines Sustainability Book and some of the participating companies will have a booth to further showcase their efforts.


This event is organized by NordCham Philippines in partnership with the Royal Danish Embassy Manila, the Embassy of Finland Manila, the Royal Norwegian Embassy Manila, and the Embassy of Sweden Manila.
