Applied Sustainability with Hanna Uusitalo - Environmental Director KONE

Northern Light - The Irish Professional Business Network, is delighted to collaboratively host the 3rd event in our webinar series

Applied Sustainability with Hanna Uusitalo - Environmental Director at KONE

The role of sustainability is evolving rapidly.  It is creating impacts and opportunities across multiple functional areas and industries.  Those effects are not just set to endure, they'll define the future contours of the business landscape - ignore them at your peril!

We will be inviting a wide range of guests over the course of this series. Each guest will be an expert in their specific industry domain and we will discuss with them how they perceive in-the-business, or 'applied' sustainability and what their journey looks like. We will aim to include a mix of start-up entrepreneurs as well as long established Nordic industries across a wide range of segments and domains.

In the 3rd online event on the 29th November 2022,  we have the pleasure of talking with Hannah Uusitalo, Environmental Director in KONE. 

Hannah joined KONE in 2008 as Environmental Director and is responsible for driving corporate climate & environmental strategy & activities, ensuring that KONE's environmental targets are ambitious in short and long term in operations, in services and in solutions they offer. Prior to KONE, she had a career in consulting, in education as well as in the Ministry of Defense in Finland. She is an environmental engineer and has a MSc degree in environmental science and technology. She is also professional vocational trainer.
