About Morten
Passionate sustainability leader with 20 years’ experience from working for and advising corporations, governments, the UN and NGOs in Asia, Africa, Europe and the US on global environmental and social challenges.
My career which spans senior sustainability roles at Global Fashion Agenda, Maersk, Danish Ethical Trading Initiative, IC Group A/S and others has provided me with a holistic and deep-rooted understanding and competences to navigate and advance the sustainability agenda. Furthermore, I have the business acumen and understanding to make sure ESG efforts are prioritized on the most material impacts, risks and opportunities and are also anchored with the right departments.
I have experience from both leading teams and working individually with a range of different stakeholders ranging from boards and executives to NGO's and government representatives.
I am an experienced and passionate speaker and I am widely recognised as a respected voice within the discussion of sustainability.
